Re: [Denemo-devel] Non-printing rest

[Joe Wilkinson]

Whoops!

I had used the drop down menus and not noticed that Shift-R, 1;Shift-R, 
2 and Shift-R, 3 were the only ones that were 2 key commands!
I have used them frequently, since a lot of the time I want Chord 
Symbols to appear, say, halfway through a bar.

I was editing a piece of music in 3/2 time and wanted the chord symbol 
on the last minim, so tried Shift-R, 0 and it didn't work. So assumed 
that it was something to do with the keyboard. And it wasn't. And I can 
create such a shortcut, and have.

And I obviously need something to disable/reassign the Windows key- it 
keeps being hit by accident in all sorts of applications.

Sorry for disturbing you!

Best wishes

Joe
