Sorry, that was a typo; the iPad keyboard I was using seems to have capitalized
the letter automatically. I just checked and confirmed that the default
shortcuts ALT+lower-case letter do not add any notes, at least not on my
machine. And the shortcut dialog does show that I'm using lower case, not
upper. (I'm not as inept with my laptop's keyboard as with my iPad's.) Oddly,
after trying ALT+capital-letter I found that those key combinations do add
notes to make a chord, including "F," "C," etc.
