| Good job! and thanks for sharing. As a software developer I

| most of the time). But as a composer I can never work with these
| online textual editors. Mostly because my hands are accustomed to
| shortcuts that the big music editors offer (Sibelius and Finale
| for example). The thing is what these online music editors offer
| are really close to what composers like me want, but not there
| yet. I mean just adding shortcuts and translating them to ABC
| will turn this to a completely useful software for me as I really
| don't need other options of those software. Just as an example:
| 1.numbers change note length 2.abcdefg change notes 3.left right
| cursor to move like normal 4.up down cursor change note ... there
| are not a lot of them but having them makes the difference for
| me.

| I will share this with him, I think he will appreciate it =)
