for typesetting music with one hand while reading with the other...
 as i had done with the very old keyboards.

a better position for the thumb:
on a french kenboard:
	jklm
	bn
and also as i made formerly on the numeric keypad:
	456+
	1
	0

these positions are quite better but have a disadvantage:
for a left hand there is a problem:
	qsdf
	vb
the B key is implemented to another point!!!

any improvement?
