Description
Your idea
In "Input by duration mode," when changing the duration with Q/W, dont immediately enter a new note.
(which, in hindsight, is somewhat of a bug.)
Let me set the correct duration, (including augmentation dots) and then with space / shift+space execute the note input.
Problem to be solved
It will stop notes entering when the relative duration (Q/W) is changed.
Inputting longer runs of quavers, for example, will get seriously fast because you don't have to peck for the correct (absolute) note duration.
Prior art
Mozart uses an input mode as I described above.
I still consider it the best (i.e.: fast) input mode I know.

Research direction
No files or tests are identified. Start by tracing the existing “Input by duration mode” handling for Q/W duration changes and Space/Shift+Space input, then verify that changing duration does not enter a note and that Space enters a note or rest using the selected duration and augmentation dots.
