Since it's not consistent on your system, it seems like you're talking about
a different and more serious issue here.

And all I suggest is that you give it some time. I
look at the keyboard/screen less in Simple now than I
ever did in Speedy. It's not hard to get used to
spotting intervals greater than a 4th. Furthermore,

do make a mistake, you'll hear it and yo

Yes, I see
I think we're not on the same page here. Your London
Bridges example makes me think you haven't quite seen
what's happening in the new Simple entry yet. There

The new Simple Entry commands are very powerful (and customizable), but
