Since I usually do note input with Denemo, I tried to change the key

I changed the definitions in LQkeyboardEvents.lua but this doesn't seem to
work. Reading the code in LilyQuick.lua (lines 664 ...) doesn't make clear
how this is supposed to work.

Can you explain?

Also, it may be a good idea to make the keystrokes match Denemo by default.

Hi Johan,

I’ve put version 0.941beta up which fixes the issue of custom layouts not working and adds a Denemo layout option.

https://github.com/palestrina/lily-q

I developed the layout myself using the Finale Speedy Note Entry as a base, which was:

8 - \breve
7 - 1
6 - 2
5 - 4
4 - 8
3 - 16
2 - 32
1 - 64

I always found the 1 key representing a note I never used a bit annoying, and also lots of alternating between 8 and 16 required jumping between 4 and 3. So I made a circular sort of layout where adjacent note values are always next to each other. But the latest patch allows you to do whatever you like :-)
