One of the reasons I like Noteworthy Composer is that most everything can be done with the keyboard (you can use the mouse also, but it's a lot faster with the keyboard). And on the keyboard, I have ten fingers to work with, so I can knock things out bam, bam, bam. Some of it requires a little thinking; for example, if I jump from a C to the A above it, instead hitting the up arrow five tims, I can hit Ctrl-Up to jump the octave, then come down two.

I know others only want to use the mouse, but like Matt, my hand gets tired on the mouse. On the keyboard, I usually keep my right hand on the arrow direction keys and my left hand over the main keyboard. Once you've internalized the commonly used commands (doesn't take long), it's easy to enter notes, chords, rests, clefs, time signatures changes, bar lines, etc.

Of course, now it sounds like I'm singing their praises like Pipeline does for RapidComposer. LOL.
