Description

Your idea

Just like input by pitch, entering a note via MUs virtual piano while holding "shift" should add the note to the previous chord.

This is currently only possible with "shift" + keyboard letter. ex: "shift" + "A".

Problem to be solved

Adding a note to a previous chord is not possible using MU's virtual piano or a connected midi keyboard.
