Enharmonic misspellings are a thing of the past if you use Denemo to
play in the pitches from a MIDI keyboard. Firstly, because the set of
enharmonics are adjusted to suit the keysignature (and can be shifted
further flatwise/sharpwise to suit modulations) and secondly because
there is a very simple pitch-spelling algorithm in Denemo: augmented and
diminished intervals are played in a different channel, so that you are
alerted if you enter C followed by D-sharp instead of C followed by
E-flat - it sounds on a different instrument.
Since introducing this I have had zero enharmonic misspellings in my
transcriptions. But this might not be suitable for some sorts of music,
I confess.
