Well, may be it is that most sighted users expect sort of a music sheet view for the notes you play, and the qws one might be confusing. If it comes to sheet music, that would be a qws function i really would love, since i aven't found software yet to convert qws midis to the right sheet view. -- Regards, Leonard de Ruijter Playing in the dark
