Thank you, Nathan. I had forgotten about this technique, as I
used to use it in my early days with LP. I stopped using it
because it is difficult to notate more complex stroke rhythms,
e.g.:
\improvisationOn
b16 b b b r b r b b b r8 b16 b r8
b16 b b b r b r b b b r4.
\improvisationOff
MIDI output isn't a consideration for me (at this time), but
point taken.
You're right though, for basic quarter-note strokes that don't
get transposed, it does solve the problem. Thanks also for the
'comp' function, that's a convenient way to incorporate stroke
marks into a staff.
