- Well, I haven't used Finale, but yes, B&P has a tool "Spare Keys", which
- allows the keyboard to be used to enter music realtime. Unfortunately,
- some of the keystrokes are also shortcuts, so the "v" key causes the
- "visual" metronome to start (!), and so on......
- The track window will display staff notation, if chosen from the menu. It
- is not professional quality though - tied eighth notes instead of quarter
- notes, etc. The timing is very accurate, however (it seems to me).
