Didn't know about that feature (and yet it's probably one of denemo's most 
powerful ones?). I've transcribed many scores by just striking the "A" through 
"G" keys, and switching durations using numeric keys.  I've considered that a 
unique power denemo provides, along with the configurable keyboard shortcuts 
for a thousand notation elements...  The above feature puts the whole process 
on steroids. (What is the feature's name?)
