Hi David R,
AFAIK, all of the graphical-interface music scoring programs use the visually-oriented logic.
The last time I used Finale — which, thankfully, was a very long time ago! ;) — there were only two ways of entering notes:
1. From a MIDI keyboard: Clearly, you can't "follow the key signature" with this method, since pressing a (MIDI) g-sharp gives a g-sharp, regardless of the key signature. 2. Mouse/QWERTY keyboard ("Speedy"?) entry: When you clicked on (e.g.) the "g-line" of the treble clef, a g-NATURAL appeared, regardless of the key signature, and you had to scroll up or down (or click-add an accidental) to change the pitch/alteration.
Is that not still true? Are there any Finale or Sibelius users out there who can confirm what model these prorgrams use?
Thanks, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
