It is important to strike a balance between speed and pitch when typing music. This can be difficult. The result of typing music in the fast key-switch mode will often be a garbled mess of letters and symbols that have no meaning at all. The key-switch allows you to type very fast if you are familiar with the key-switch system. It also allows you to separate words that may not be immediately obvious to the naked eye. Some keys may not be appropriate depending on the task at hand. To practice this method, you should just type as fast as possible in an effort to achieve some standardization. Standardization is possible only if you can recognize certain words when you type them. It also helps to recognize the words when they are repeated in your own music. Once you are comfortable with this method of typing, you can work on improving your typing speed. This is the key to becoming a good transcriber.
