1. I use Frescobaldi. 2. I’ve set keyboard shortcuts (F18 and F19) for starting and stopping MIDI capture. 3. Because of the way my code is structured — variables for each voice, every measure on a new line, duration repetitions used wherever possible, etc. — I try to play out as many measures as possible in a single capture/“performance” (often dozens or even hundreds of measures!), playing each note which is new/distinct or begins a measure. Then I start at the top of the capture stream and insert durations and line breaks. It’s an astonishingly fast workflow, actually — whereas before I started using MIDI input I estimate my input speed was less than ½ that of my top Finale input speed (ca. 2001, when I finally threw that app in the dustbin), now I think I probably exceed the very fastest I could ever get notes into Finale. Hope that helps! If you have any more questions, let me know. Cheers, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer (he/him/his) ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: kie...@kierenmacmillan.info
