[Denemo-devel] Edit Mode

[Richard Shann]

When I created Edit mode I missed something which has severely limited
the usefulness of that mode ever since. I didn't realize that there was
an extra cursor position "appending" where the idea is that the cursor
is not on any note, but after all the notes in a measure.
Consequently, you can edit the last note using say a NOTENAME or
DURATION then move right into "appending" and perform the same action -
instead of appending it effectively moves left and edits the last note.

I have been groping my way out of this confusion for some time now with
the extra entry flag that I created (the one labled, somewhat
confusingly Audible Feedback...).

What I think I can do is simply change the behavior of Edit mode to
append when in appending position.

The actions in this mode (ie the behavior of a,b,c,d,e,f,g and
0,1,2,3,4,5,6) could then become the standard ones for people working
without modes.

It would mean that if you are in the middle of some music and you want
to insert an extra note you would not press any of a..g,0..6 but some
shift or alt or what have you combination with these.

thoughts?
