Fine to put those keystrokes in the muzium! :)

Hi all,
 
I've added a function which lets you type in the zoom level directly,
without needing to use Ctrl+Dash and Ctrl+=. The steps for changing the
zoom
level to 62.5% would be:
 
1. Press Keystroke to go to the zoom level edit box.
 
2. Type in 60.
 
3. Press Enter to return to the score.
 
Note that you don't need to type in the zoom level exactly. EG: typing
in 60
will set it to 62.5. And you certainly don't need to type "%" after the
number.
 
The important question is, do we keep the keystrokes for zooming to
62.5%
and 400%. My personal feeling is that it would be best to do away with
them.
 
The reason for the 400% zoom level is that Sibelius runs more quickly at
higher zoom levels. However, 400% is not always necessary, especially in
scores with a small number of instruments. Also, some users are finding
that
they don't need the much higher zoom level, because there machine is
powerful enough to cope at a lower one.
 
I added the 62.5% zoom level to make reading text when editing text
items
more reliable. However, it's clear that this is not enough on it's own
to
ensure good behaviour from JAWS. In other words, even at 62.5% you may
find
that JAWS can't read the text. The reasons for this are far too
complicated
to script around easily.
 
Would there be any serious objections to me dumping the Ctrl+Alt+Dash
and
Ctrl+Alt+Equals keystrokes. I understand that they are convenient, but 
Ctrl+Alt+the
new method is not arduous and offers more flexibility. Also, those
keystrokes only offer two zoom levels. If you want others, you still
have to
use Ctrl+Dash and Ctrl+Equals to zoom in or out in steps.
 
Your thoughts?
