extended step time? I'm not sure what I may have called it in various places. I edited the Wikipedia comparison of score writers page to include this feature, citing the fact that Musescore had a Google Summer of Code student work on implementing it for Musescore, but someone reverted the edit giving spurious reasons(*) (including that the GSoC student also worked on something else). Musescore appears to have vastly more users, along with Sib and Fin, which is partly because people think of a musical score as a drawing and mostly because of the power of advertising (in all its forms).
