I've created an example of an entry for the keymap file which allows you
to enter the abbreviated note for eighth-notes either from the
EditDuration menu or by using the keyboard shortcut "8"
Obviously you would want a complete set. Also at the moment, there is no
convenient way of merging keymaps.
Watch this space.
Here is the keymap entry, for the curious:
<script>
<command>AbbrvEighth</command>
<scheme>(d-InsertLilyDirective ":8")
</scheme>
<menupath>/ObjectMenu/EditModeNote/EditDuration</menupath>
<label>Abbreviated Eighth Note</label>
<tooltip>Adds slashes to the preceding note to indicate is
should be played as repeated eighth notes</tooltip>
<bind>8</bind>
</script>
<builtin>
