I use the same emacs config (no suprise:).
In the score creation phase, one spend most of the time entering
notes, thus a tool that helps entering notes accurately (ie fast entry
and immediate playback) is a must have. There are few pitch mistakes
(mostly time mistakes remain).
Seeing how quick I typed the last scores I made, I would not go back to
the old "type all the letters" painful approach.
