Would this be better to change this to be the 0,1,2,3 to change 
prevailing duration of newly entered notes? This would reduce keypresses 
if their is a change in rhythm with an interval skip that is larger than 
a third.
Maybe I will just do that on my own keyset. I also have added the 
navigation keys to the vim style that denemo use to have. That is the h 
= left l = right j=down and k=up. ctrl-l is measure right ctrl j is 
staff down etc.... This keeps my fingers in home row. I don't know if it 
is my netbook or it is american keyboards but the ctrl-+ does not zoom 
in unless I reset to ctrl-+.
