7.3.2 Durations<br />

To enter notes or rests in Input mode, it is necessary to decide what duration the<br />

note or rest is going to have. As stated before, this is a simple procedure: just<br />

press the appropriate number key on the computer keyboard. Probably, most<br />

notes are semiquavers/sixteenth, quavers/eighth, crotchets/quarter, and minims/<br />

half notes. Therefore, a right-handed person would find the placement of the<br />

keys comfortable: a good way to use the computer keyboard for entering durations<br />

is to put the index finger on the 4 key of the numeric keypad to input quavers/eighth<br />

notes. Then, the middle finger could rest on 5 to input crotchets/<br />

quarter notes, the fourth finger on 6 to input minims/half notes (the ring finger<br />

could then also be used for the 3 key to input semiquavers/sixteenth notes) and<br />

the little finger on Enter to execute the insertion of a note. The thumb can then<br />

be used on the spacebar for rests.<br />

All of the default keys used for setting the wanted duration are listed below.<br />

Key(s):<br />

Action:<br />

0 Set duration to one semihemidemisemiquaver (1/128)<br />

1 Set duration to one hemidemisemiquaver (1/64)<br />

2 Set duration to one demisemiquaver (1/32)
