Richard: I think "playing the piece in" is what Johan is asking for, and
is exactly what you're saying is a bad idea. I don't think what Denemo
offers can in any sense be called "playing it in". "Entering it by
typing on the keyboard" is more accurate. Even if I use a musical
keyboard, the Denemo method is typing, not playing. It may be the best
method - but "playing" is the wrong word.

I've played from a score made by a minor broadway composer from one of
the software systems you're saying doesn't work well (i.e. he really did
play his piece into the computer, in real time, from a midi piano
keyboard). I agree, it was silly and very hard to read because of all
the rhythmic errors - but it was ten years ago and I haven't seen any
such scores lately.
