[Denemo-devel] duration, rhythm, metronome, etc., for MIDI-input?

[Bric]

I am using 1.0.9.  Can one control note duration while entering over 
MIDI-keyboard more easily than by explicitly switching duration with PC 
keyboard, every time note duration should change?

Another way of asking is, can denemo act as a "midi sequencer", where 
you enter notes by actually "performing" them rhythmically, in real 
time, over a metronome pulse, and the sequencer figures out where to 
place each note, and estimates its duration, with respect to the given 
metronome pulse? (I guess with some quantizing happening, at some point, 
eventually)

If not, what is the most efficient way to control duration of the 
entered notes, from the midi keyboard?

Also, tangentially: how does one switch into and out of chord-input 
mode, when using midi keyboard input?  I have accidentally entered that 
mode, but can't figure out how to do that intentionally.

thanks.
