by rhythmic overlays you mean what happens when you have the
Mode->Audible Feedback\nInsert Duration/Edit Note
checkbox checked?

The other thing (checking Overlays on the control panel) is the thing
involving the "tone store", and is intended for the mic pitch detection
stuff.

Well, I was getting no MIDI input, but I have pushed a fix for that and
with plain Edit mode the MIDI keyboard edits the note, with no cursor
advance, with the Mode->Audible Feedback\nInsert Duration/Edit Note
entry type as well then you get cursor advance.
You *can* use Edit mode with a MIDI filter to get cursor advance, which
you would do if you found the audible feedback for rhythm switching
annoying.

No, that is just edit mode. It is not any sort of overlay thing. With
the cursor advance it would be.

Experiment with Mode->Audible Feedback\nInsert Duration/Edit Note

It is what I use *all the time* with just a *very* occasional hitting

 Ins/pc-keyboard note/Ins 

sequence to insert a note using the pc-keyboard if I am fixing some
mistake (though usually, placing the cursor on the note and playing it
on the MIDI keyboard does this sort of thing fine).
