On my Mac, the keyboard shortcuts work with my azerty keyboard (or 99 % of them) and I haven't changed the configuration to be a "qwerty".
I also used Quickeys to create some shortcuts that didn't exist, such as "Display in concert pitch" and "show active layer only"

Thanks for your input Michel(p)

When using speedy entry, I can not add a dot after a note on azerty layout.
Can you do that ?

Thanks again

I suppose 2009 is like 2008, which is the version I'm still using now. I usually use Speedy entry, and on the numeric keyboard, type the dot/comma.
If you use a portable with no numeric keypad, typing shift/dot on the main keyboard may give you a grace note, I'm afraid. In this case, someone else here will hopefully be able to help you...
