What I'm looking for is actually a way not to give notes a defined
time. I want to be able to simulate a "live" playing scenario, when each
note is going to have durations that certainly are not going to be exact
time durations (1/4, 1/2, etc.), but I lack the keyboard abilities to
input a moderately complex piece this way, hence my search for a
two-step solution, where first I enter the notes, and then I only have
to worry about the duration of the notes, by pressing the same keyboard
key repeatedly, but hopefully, listening to the previously entered
notes, for feedback. I think this would allow for a really easy way to
create more musical MIDI performances (the alternative of tweaking
durations via the sequencer is what I do now, but it takes a lot of
time...).
