> Like if you hear a syncopated rhythm in your head, or tap it out, do you know the exact rest values you need to insert to achieve it? Yeah, if I can hear it in my head, I can write it out, at least for the genres of music I’m likely to write. I used to do it on paper, so the playback function is nice to have but I don’t need it to know I have the notation right. I’ll fairly frequently make a typo in note entry mode, like forgetting to switch from quarter notes to eighths or whatever, and have to go back and change a note duration, but I don’t get in situations where I would need to insert a sixteenth and make the rest of the measure reflow or whatever. Not sure if that’s what you’re describing.
