--- Comment #3 from David Needham mnmus@thirdworldcounty.us 2008-06-24 08:43:15 --- Thanks for drawing my attention to proper response to emails. I plead lack of sleep. :-) Will this do to sum up my email reply?
1. The downloadable demo of 4.5.5 behaves the same as the 4.2.1 I used to observe the problem this time (indeed, in an earlier version of WINE, I observed the same thing in 4.5.5)
2. Yes, a physical midi controller/keyboard is necessary. However, if I can find an appropriate power supply, I dug out that old, cheezy (but functional), little mini-controller that would only need a midi-to-serial connection to a comp to be usable. Want it? I am NOT attached to this controller and shipping wouldn't be much of a much, I don't imagine.
3. Since the problem is one of midi-controller input (essential to be able to _play_ notes into the notation software, instead of laboriously entering them one at a time via the computer keyboard or mouse), no, I know of no virtual device that could emulate playing chords at tempo into a midi in port in a fashion similar to playing a piano keyboard.
