Could Note Input be Prescriptive?

Thanks for the good job you have done & how active your developers are on here.

Currently the rhythm & accidental input in Musescore (MUS) is prescriptive: in Note Input mode, you press the number key before pressing the letter. In Noteflight (NF), it can be post-scriptive: you can type the note letter, then make the rhythm size smaller or larger using [ or ]. I like NF’s method more because its faster in thinking time & correction speed.

For example, if I sing a melody & hear a G then A (dotted 8th then 16th), both a quarter note & a dotted eighth feel the same at the beginning, but I realize it’s a dotted eighth because it’s “stopped short” by the following 16th note. In MUS if I accidentally type a G quarter note, to correct it I would press: left arrow + think in my head + 4 + . + G + think + 3 + A (6 keys with more thinking). In NF, to correct this, I would just press [ + . + A + [ (4 keys with less thinking).

Part of what contributes to this in MUS is the functionality of note input is contained both in and outside Note Input Mode. If you eliminated Note Input Mode, similar to NF, I think it would make things faster:)

Thanks in advance!
