here is your problem. You are hoping that the timing of your keypress
could be interpreted and a duration of note estimated from it. Such
systems have been tried many times, and are offered by programs that
don't care if you succeed or not, as long as you buy the program. They
don't work because of the subtleties of timing, rests and notation
(consider, 1/4 note tied to 1/8 note is the same duration as dotted 1/4
note).
Well, I would like to be proved wrong; the moment you hear of a way of
doing it I promise I will implement it in Denemo: everything is there
just waiting for someone to invent the algorithm.
Be aware that in terms of speed of entry, it would not help: with the
numeric keypad method you can incorporate the slurs as you enter the
rhythm, and (with the latest version of Denemo) you can enter triplets
while not breaking your rhythm. What it would save is getting used to
switching key press of each type of duration, which is definitely a
knack.
