Input note an octave lower or higher?

Thank you, Leo. In a way, it’s pleasant to learn that it isn’t my fault, at least. At the risk of revealing further ignorance, how would I assign a shortcut to something this specific? I don’t see a suitable item in the Key Commands menu.

Forgive me for not typing this out in full again. The details for how to edit your keycommands file are here.

The specific command you’d need to add is:

					{
						"NoteInput.Pitch?Pitch=B&Up=true" : [ "§" ]
					},

Obviously your shortcut could be something other than § - that’s basically my test key for commands I program up temporarily.

Thank you again for your kind and thorough response. Reading that, and the linked thread, makes me think that I’ll just make myself content to flip B up an octave after entry, if I need to.
