Missing feature alert 8O! :

step midi entry.

1) using the computer keyboard only (rhythmic values + pitches)
2) mix of computer keyboard and midi, (...pitches are selected on the midi keyboard)
3) midi only (both rhythmic values and pitches selected by midi).



For the notation window a fairly standard implementation is really needed (Sibelius, MuseScore, Finale, Sonar and of course Logic all have quite good methods)

Example1: switching rhythmic values with computer keyboard shortcuts, switching to higher/lower rhythmic value by one of two keycommands, toggle add a dot, chord input, a tie (elongate the note), triplets on/off for current note value, start a tuplet group. Pitches are selected by pressing alphabet keys (A, B, C etc.), octaves changed by ctrl+up/down arrows. Rests are inserted by pressing space. Of course there are also shortcuts for semitonal transposition and for enharmonic notation. Backspace or delete or ctrl+Z to undo a note.

Example2: rhythmic values as in ex.1 Pitches are played with a midi keyboard.
Chords are identified by pressing the sustain(hold) pedal and then playing the notes. Rests are recorded by pressing and releasing the sustain pedal.

Example3: one octave (highest or lowest) is used for switching rhythm values etc.



This mode is very useful not only for step recording, but also for editing already recorded midi data (for instance to quickly change the pitch of a selected note, or its rhythmic value only). To edit, you enter the mode, then select a note, then play the new pitch or adjust the rhythm value.
