Re: [LAU] MIDI note input by rhythm?

Hi, my first post to the list. I hope MIDI issues are appropriate for it. I'm an amateur classical guitar player and I'm starting to use the computer as a "partner" to play duets, trios, etc. At the moment I just enter a score in either GNU Denemo or Rosegarden, then just tweak a little bit the tempo and the velocities to make it more musical and then I play along with that. But the whole thing is very time consuming, so I'm looking for an alternative way for note input. I am hoping for something like the following: 1. I just enter the notes, regardless of the duration of each of them. 2. Then I go into a second phase, where (using the PC keyboard or a MIDI keyboard) I just worry about the rhythm (the note durations). Every time I press a new key in the keyboard the program would play the next note from the ones entered in step 1. and record its duration. I don't care about how the score will look with these durations. I just want an easy way to create a more musical accompaniment. This way, at this step I only have to worry about the durations of each note. 3. The same idea, but for velocities, so I could easily create piano, fortes, crescendos, etc.
