Hey, and what about: hold modifier (shift, control or alt) when pencil new note = hear the note without inserting it, then just clean pencil = insert note.fycfung wrote:Just to elaborare on my suggestion before about the bars flashing dark when a note is pressed on an external keyboard: I was trying to pick out a tune on Luna, and for me, I might be able to hum the tune, but I might not know exactly which note it is until I hear it. So what I want to do it be able to hear it and then write it in at the appropriate position. If I play the note by clicking on the key, then I have to go to the left of the screen and then back (which would be easier for me if the dark bars for the black notes are a little darker). What would be nice would be to be able to put my mouse at the position where I want the note to go, and then hit the external controller key, get the corresponding row to flash dark, and then I could draw in the note there.
I suspect that such a capability will be very appealing to those CM readers who may not be good enough at note-reading/writing to really be able to figure out, without any such clues, which note to lay down next, without looping the track over and over to see if it sounds "right".
Thanks!
So then you could preview and draw the melody all with the mouse.
). Is the straight click-on-a-note with the pencil actually being used for anything else? I presume it would be easy to implement, and could be buried in a "use at your own risk" set of options, perhaps.
