Hi Dave, That certainly wasn't the intended behavior! I'm wondering now if it wasn't a mistake to use rt-click to add notes; it seemed at the time, in terms of usability and speed of entering and handling material, to be a good solution, but now I'm not so sure. Most piano rolls are modal editors, which could certainly be implemented, but I found that to be somewhat slowed me down, so chose the rt-click. Hmm... would alt-clicking be too strange? Or perhaps we should make it modal? As for not entering notes within other notes, it'd be great if you could take a look. I'm going to be doing pretty much just one thing this weekend which is looking for strings to externalize into the locale files so that the program's various translations can be brought up to date(a request by Josep Comajuncosas). I've been bad about not keeping them up to date so unfortunately will have to spend quite some time with this this weekend!
