Hi!

Is there an easy way to enter 128th notes, 256th notes and even faster values? So far I have only figured out how to create them by the "change / note durations" function, and it's a bit cumbersome.

Many thanks!

As Far As I Know, the utility Change Note Durations is the only solution for 128ths and smaller values.

There are some very short note values in the Beethoven piano sonatas and variations. Even his middle period Eroica Variations have at least one 5 x beamed group (128ths), although I think these short values are commoner in his later pieces.
