You can do it: just use expression syntax.

It should work with ReadScore, as far as I can remember. I introduced ReadScore to

cater for that (as opposed to InputMessage),

but I can't recall what works and what doesn't.

Ok, I had ruled the expression syntax out as its illeagal rt scoreline

illegal RT scoreline:

i 1 0 [1/16] 6.00

but for non-realtime the expression syntax works.

The expression syntax is two extra keystrokes, I can live with that. In general I write very little CsScore so I think it would bother me more if I were to write long scores.

Anyway just thinking out loud.
