Using a mod wheel to change enharmonic. whould be a very easy thing to  
add. I borrowed code some ifrom mportmidi that chooses sharp or flats  
depending on the keysignature. This is what I wired into the  
midiinput. Basically if the key has flats it prefers flats. If  
keysignature had sharps the prefernce will be for sharps. If none is  
set than I believe it just uses sharps. A mod wheel up can choose  
enharmonically spelled flats while a mod wheel up chooses  
enharmonically sharp notes. This is only if the note does not exist in  
the keysignature. Does this sound correct?

I would have to do some studying to find a way to "doc" or embed the  
pop up window. This GUI will be needed for the folks who don't have a  
mod or pitch wheel like a midi enhanced piano. Anyway this GUI is  
confusing to me. I thought it was only for transposing input on the fly.
