Guitar Tab in V2

Apologies if this isn't the right place for this. Please move it elsewhere if necessary.

I'm sure I'm not alone in finding the proposed note entry method for guitar tab very cumbersome. Selecting note duration and the required string is not a problem but having to hit the "up" key several times to obtain the required fret isn't very "friendly" and is totally different to any other tab program I've come across - I know that doesn't meant "they're right/you're wrong" but there does seem to be some degree of consistency among them that will cause MS to stand out as a bit of an oddity and will, I believe, deter people from using it. For instance, to enter an A major chord in the 5th position I have to hit "up" 5 times on the 1st string to get to fret 5. Hit it 5 times on the 2nd string to get to fret 5. Hit it 6 times on the 3rd string to get to fret 6. And so on. That's 35 keystrokes to enter the full, 6-string chord. In other programs I've used you just select the string then enter the fret number - 6 keystrokes in this example.

Please, if it's not too late, change the proposed method to something more akin to "normal practice" or I think you will undermine a very useful new feature - well useful for guitarists anyway
