The num pad in Sibelius is essential as far as I am aware, unless you have an MMO/Gaming mouse as mentioned earlier. If I was on a laptop and had to use the CTRL + ? to do input I'd be, at most, 1/3 the speed I currently input stuff in. One other problem with your approach may be a lack of a num pad use. I haven't used those applications in a few years so maybe they've gotten a lot better since then but I always found I was at least 2x as fast as if I had to go through and double check the scanned stuff. You can double check yourself as you're entering in notes and you're far less likely to miss something than the scanners are - at least as of now. There's the rub about doing it by scan vs.
