Here are 3 "home-made" layouts that I'm about to experiment with for typing scores in the next few weeks.

With this keyboard I can :

arrange the functions in different layouts to optimize the ergonomics of the most used actions during score entry

compose the background of each key as I wish, using symbols or text so that learning the essentials becomes faster because it is more intuitive (no need to memorise too many keyboard shortcuts)

develop macros: so that by pressing a single key I can eventually chain together the execution of a series of functions. (ideal for recurring tasks that are often necessary)

Here are some elements that may be of interest to one or the other?
In any case, thank you for the exchanges following my questions as a beginner, the Sylphyo community is a great discovery for me.
Amitiés,
Jean-Louis

English version :
Thank you in particular for this proposed reconsideration, which reinforces my investment of time over the past weekend:
Getting to grips with keyboarding scores in MuseScore.
But since I didn't have a synth at hand, and doing it on the computer keyboard requires a gradual and rather slow learning curve, I made it easier for myself by programming a new profile on my 32-key Stream Deck (from Elgato) that I use for many other things on my iMac. My first experiments seem to be promising in terms of "productivity" and confirm what you said in your last post.

@Peter-Ostry and @Paul-Flute
Merci en particulier pour cette reconsidération proposée qui me conforte dans mon investissement en temps durant le week-end écoulé :
Se familiariser avec la saisie au clavier des partitions dans MuseScore.
Mais comme je n'avais de synthé sous la main, et que le faire sur le clavier de l'ordi exige un apprentissage progressif et assez lent, je me suis facilité cet apprentissage en programmant un nouveau profil sur ma Stream Deck de 32 touches (d'Elgato) que j'utilise pour plein d'autres choses sur mon iMac. Mes premières expérimentations semblent prometteuses de "productivité" et confirment les propos de votre dernier message.

Voici juste quelques photos, comme illustration

@Gromit Thank you for this answer, good to know.

Thank you all for enlightening me with your answers to my questions as a beginner, it has made me evolve towards a better understanding of things that interest me even more now.

@Paul-Flute Thank you Paul for the positive feedback on your experience, the link provided and the suggestions which will be very useful to me.

@Gromit Thanks for the link, I just watched the video, indeed the advice given by Alistair Parnel for another windcontroller and another score editor software could be very useful in finding the parallels on the Sylphyo and MuseScore side.

When the time comes, if at all, when I have succeeded (in a few weeks) I will give my feedback, but perhaps in the meantime someone from the Sylphyo community who already has this experience will clarify the subject.

@Peter-Ostry Thank you Peter for taking the time to do this whole test and for providing me with the background and details.
The information is all interesting and the result somewhat surprising.

You rightly ask the question why a windcontroller to do this.

Not knowing how to play the keyboard and not being a composer, but practicing the flute for a long time, I imagined to save time for the regular input of acapella scores for a choir, in which case I would be able to play one after the other the soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices and the MuseScore application would do the input and would allow me to get a quality printout on paper.
The potential offered by the MuseScore application (open source software) is amazing.

It is therefore for a particular need that I imagined that as a beginner I could also use the Sylphyo.

But of course this would only be a complement to the pleasure of playing this instrument whose potential, according to many testimonies, seems incredible for those who know how to give it time over time

Again thank you for your comprehensive answer.
Jean-Louis

@Paul-Flute Thank you for your indications, if I succeed later, I will post the detailed information

Question from a beginner (who is about to acquire a Sylphyo) 

Is it also possible to use this beautiful instrument that is the Sylphyo to enter scores with the MuseScore application (instead of a midi keyboard) by connecting it directly with a simple USB cable (Type-A to mini-B type) from the USB socket of the Sylphyo to the USB Type-A socket of an iMac 5K? 

All this without having to use the LINK box?
Has anyone of you experienced this?
Thank you in advance for your advice

Question de débutant (qui s'apprête à acquérir un Sylphyo prochainement) 

Est-il aussi possible d'utiliser ce bel instrument qu'est le Sylphyo pour la saisie de partitions avec l'application MuseScore (à la place d'un clavier midi) en le connectant directement avec un simple câble USB (Type-A vers type mini-B) depuis la prise USB du Sylphyo vers la prise USB type-A d'un iMac 5K ? 

Tout ceci sans devoir utiliser le boitier LINK ?
Quelqu'un de vous l'aurait-il expérimenter?
Merci d'avance pour vos indications
