Improvements to a pen-based musical input system

The paper describes an improved design for pen input of music into a computer system. A usability analysis of an existing system is performed, and improvements based on the analysis are implemented and tested. New capabilities are also added. The resulting system is tested for both usability and speed of input, with good results in both areas.
