If you right click on Mode->Classic Mode you get told the name of the command (Help for ClassicMode) and this tells you that there exists a scheme procedure d-ClassicMode
I have in mind better feedback on which mode you are in - it is just the color of the denemo cursor, and some of those overlap.

I found the command (d-ClassicMode) and (d-InsertMode) by guessing, so that feature is already there, but I'm not sure how I would have found it. What might be nice is a little icon that lets you know what mode you're in, similar to the note and rest entry toolbar letting you know what duration you've selected.

This is the Windows XP 0.8.6 version I'm testing.
I noticed when I play back through timidity with several staffs, some of which have empty first bars and others which don't, the playback is basically every staff starting on its own first bar simultaneously. (If you wrote a fugue with the 2nd voice on its own staff with empty first few bars, you'd hear the subject in parallel fifths or whatever.)

Also the metronome markings playback in strange ways. The playback doesn't see what marks are on the first beat. And when it does see a mark, it interprets it pretty weirdly. Eg. switch to quarter=100 comes out at 120 bpm, 60 bpm becomes 96 bpm in playback. It's not obvious to me what exactly it's doing to come up with these numbers. Midi output has the same problem when saved as a midi file. It seems to compound the problem when there's another switch and end up at 240 bpm playback.

Also this is probably well-known: sometimes the display puts the stems on the wrong side of the noteheads, with quarter notes looking like "b" instead of "d". Putting the cursor into the problem measures sometimes straightens things out.

And finally a feature request: A command like ToggleEdit that allows switching between Classic and Insert at a keypress. I've found each mode has its advantages and it'd be nice to switch back without having to use the mouse.

Thanks.
