Using Movable Do Names for Input
Is there a way of configuring MuseScore to use different computer keyboard keys for note input?
In essence, I want to remap the keyboard so that instead of typing these: "cdefgab", one can type these: "drmfslt" to match the movable do names, or even these: "asdfghj".

Go to Edit>Preferences>Shortcuts and you will see that there are shortcuts defined for Enter note A to Enter note G. You can edit them to suit you needs but beware that many letters are already allocated as shortcuts to other things - S is the shortcut to add a slur for example and so you would need to find something else to act as that shortcut or not have a shortcut for adding a slur.
Also, it is not clear how you would use moveable do for note entry as the note or pitch associated with do is, erm... moveable. You would have to redefine your shortcuts for each key. I guess you could export the shortcuts for each key and then load them again when you want to write in different keys.
Another option would be to always use a fixed key (say C Maj) during note entry so that do is always C. And then you could transpose to a different key after you have entered everything.

Thank you much! I assumed there would be some sort of transposition process from fixed do.
