> So these turn out to be a very large question mark. Indeed. If there are multiple staffs, is it even possible to edit more than one of them in the same notation view now? Yes, but I find it difficult to control which one of them I'm going to insert anything into. Especially with the keyboard. And the select forward/back stuff has my head buzzing. This well and truly only has meaning in one edit view at a time, but that behavior is not at all consistent with one cursor, and it's a transport cursor. Not only just one edit view at a time, one segment at a time. You can't select across segments, even though it would be really convenient to be able to do that in a multi-staff edit view (especially where several overlapping segments are on the same staff). Those aren't problems we're going to sort out for Thorn, if ever, to be honest about it. So what to do about these indeed, and their parallels in the matrix now that you can edit multiple segments in the same matrix view. The matrix never had this ability before, but the main thing preventing it from being useful now is there is utterly no way to control this "up staff/down staff" kind of functionality, and only one segment can be presented for editing. Well I guess we had better get cracking on working out the answers to these many questions. Can we really work out solutions to everything that don't involve a local cursor, or do we need to put the local cursor back? I'm catching up late. Does anyone else actually have a plan for how this was all supposed to have worked out? A way to work around all of these limitations? If not, I feel the February deadline slipping away rapidly while we stall out trying to figure out how to solve these problems. I have the beginnings of some thoughts about several of these, but if the things I'm thinking are in any way actually required to get the job done, we're looking at months to get it all done and get it all right. -- D.
