Click and drag notes to pitch

When editing imported music, I like to use the mouse (or pen) to drag notes into place, or click and drag them off to the garbage.

Also, in addition to a menu bar, I would like an option to place a note on a ledger line, followed by a pop-up menu of durations, so that entry is more fluid.

Please don't implement this, except perhaps as a user option. One of the main reasons I chose NoteWorthy over other software was that the click and drag paradigm made it nearly impossible for me to enter music. Every time I clicked on a note in Brand X notator, it would change the pitch or the duration; or I would click in between notes and it would insert notes and change the surrounding notes. NWC's paradigm is much cleaner and simpler.

On the topic of changing the duration of a note after you enter it, it's easy in NWC; just select the note(s) and click (or type) the desired duration value on it/them.
