Selection after adding dynamics or articulation

• Sep 3, 2016 - 06:47

So, articulation selection is usually okay. I add an articulation, it's selected, I type v to make it invisible or hit the arrow key to move on, the workflow is good. Staccato does NOT work that way though, and it perturbs me because a) I have to resort to a mouse to select it b) it's the tiniest thing in existence c) it doesn't follow the standard.

Dynamics are pretty bad, though. Every time I add them, unless I'm both in 'note adding' mode and I have a note to add immediately after, I have to use the mouse to get back to the note, which slows me down and interrupts work flow. I understand that using arrow keys to move it around is useful, but maybe we can make that Shift+ -> for moving it around and just the arrow key to get back to work? I'm not sure about hairpins. Maybe make it Ctrl/Cmd for everything instead of shift.

Would be really, really nice to go nearly keyboard only.

I second (agree). 'Twould be a big +1 for MS to have a means to cycle into any dynamic marking, edit, then go back into the notes via keyboard quickly and efficiently. This also applies to beams and things.
