Re: Denemo on Mac OS X 10.15.4

[David Richmond]

Thanks, Richard.

Here’s a dumb one: the manual says shift plus the number keys (or numpad, but I don’t have one yet) will change the duration of an entered note. That didn’t work on my Mac, except that shift + 2 (shift + @) registered as shift + 0 to change to a whole note.

I got the described behavior by setting (new) shortcuts from the Command Center, but 3 through 0 all registered not as shift + [number] but shift + [character] e.g. shift + #, $, %, etc. except that shift + 1 registers as shift + 9 and shift + 2 is shift + 0.

Can’t explain it.

That's great news - thank you!

If you are not already familiar with the program then there would be a
small possibility that, although building, the program may not run as
intended in every respect - please raise any questions here, and
include a screenshot of anything that seems problematic (in case of
fonts problems etc).

There have been several requests for these so they would be most
welcome.
