Ubuntu Studio 14.04, GIT commit: fe89f44

This has been bugging me a while but I've never quite been able to put my finger on it, and there seemed more pressing issues. I think I can probably fix this myself, but I want to make sure my expectations for the behavior are correct

1) empty score (new or startup score)
2) measure 1, note entry
3) C D
4) Left

Result: at this point, the "C" is highlighted as selected, the note input cursor is on the "D". I'll accept this as correct.

5) E

Result: the C is changed to an E. But I expected the *D* to change - that's where the note input cursor is.

My understanding is, the highlighting shows the "current" notes in the sense of what will be affected by up/down or by other operations that modify a "current" note. Whereas the note input cursor shows where the next note will appear if you press a letter name or play a MIDI note. And this appears to be violated.

If I am right, then I think the appearance after step 4 is fine - it reflects what I *expect* to happen. It's the result after step 5 I think should be changed to reflect what I see after step 4.
