I don't understand why mice are used in this fasion -- incredibly inefficient. If I was to do a live gig with a computer, I would certainly want everything to be keyboard controlled. Think about entering notes into a tracker with a mouse.. I won't even start to talk about programs that force you to drag notes around on a staff.. yeesh!
