This is great!  My only suggestion would that there should also be a 
concept of "current pitch" (or vertical position?) to facilitate 
keyboard note entry.  It could be an option as to whether or not it is 
actually visible.

While mouse clicking is a great way to make range selections or quickly 
make a large reposition of insertion point, it is a horrible way to 
actually enter a note or chord.  It is far too slow and inaccurate.  If 
you try to make the staff bigger to improve the accuracy, you now have 
to make larger mouse movements, which is slower.
