Note input tweak

[tejjyid]

I'd like to see a feature whereby one could direct the octave positioning of a new note simultaneously with the entering of it via the keyboard. Currently, even when I know the note will be placed "wrong", I have to wait until after I have entered it before using the CTRL + arrow key to shift it. It would be significantly faster if (for example) I could combine UP + note / DOWN +note. I don't have a view particularly on what the UP and DOWN should be mapped to, although it can't be SHIFT as that is used for chord construction.

The advantage of using 2 keys is that when entering the same pitch-class it can be directed to UP, DOWN or SAME. If the SAME option wasn't deemed important, then 1 key would be OK if its function were "do the opposite of the MS default"

Another suggestion on the same lines, could a note default to an octave within the instrument's range if the nearest is outside? I code for bass guitar and often have to correct a D that goes below the lowest E that can be played on a 4 string with conventional tuning.

Yes, that would also be useful. Since it's possible to set the range for strings, it would be good to make use of the information in this context.
