This was no problem for Chris Sion's "Copyist" program for the old Atari
ST
as it was really a word processor for music notation. Of course there was
no playback, only rudimentary MIDI conversion, and no auto formatting. So
if you left out a pitch and wanted to insert it, you had to do so much
dragging that it wasn't worth the effort - although you could easily have
5
(or 6 or 25) quarter notes in a 4/4 measure without the program telling
you
were some sort of idiot!
