Generally, there are two styles, where one involves tapping repeatedly on the navigation keys and the other style involves holding the respective navigation key and releasing it when the mouse pointer is in the correct location, noting that there is an "area" or "region" for each staff, such that when the mouse pointer is in the area or region for a staff, pressing the "5" key on the numeric pad is that same as moving the mouse pointer to the staff and then doing a single click.
The key is to get the various parameters set correctly (speed and acceleration). Mouse Keys is not exactly what you wanted, but after experimenting with it for a while, I think it will work, since the potential for rapid note inputting is there. I am fortunate in having wide wrists, hence no carpal tunnel problems but I have worked with people who were not able to use a mouse, at all, due to carpal tunnel pain and there are alternatives to mice, some of which are programs from third-party vendors that are add-ons to the operating system, but in this instance i think Mouse Keys will provide a nice solution, albeit with a bit of practicing, since it requires learning some new skills.
Finale 2014 keyboard shortcuts for mac os x#
I have been doing GUI software designing and engineering for several decades, more recently switching to Mac OS X over a decade ago for Mac OS X and iOS as soon as it was released and accessibility is one of the aspects of graphic user interface (GUI) designing and programming hence this is something I notice. I wouldn't have thought to look into this.

Unfortunately, I use windows but there's probably some parallel feature. Mouse Keys is an interesting thing to explore, which is fabulous. It also will do a double-click when you press the "5" numeric pad key two times very quickly, and there is a parameter for setting the double-click recognition speed. It only moves the mouse pointer and emulates a "mouse single-click" when you press the "5" numeric pad key. On the Mac, it provides a way to reposition the mouse pointer and it is independent of the standard "arrow" keys. There might other ways to do this, but this is the only one I was able to find.
If you are doing digital music production in the Windows universe, there probably is a similar accessibility feature in Windows. There is an option that makes it possible to activate or to deactivate Mouse Keys, and you can use the mouse when Mouse Keys is active. You can adjust the speed and acceleration of the mouse pointer, and at faster and more rapid settings this works nicely for moving from one staff to another, but it is not the same has having a simple shortcut for moving up or down by one staff. On the Mac, you can use the "Mouse Keys" feature in "Accessibility" to control the mouse pointer with the numeric pad of your Apple Keyboard with Numeric Pad, noting that this is done with the numeric pad rather than the numbers on the alphanumeric section of the keyboard. It would be really useful for working out counterpoint too. When working with multiple voices on the grand staff, it would really speed up my work flow if there is a keyboard shortcut to go up to the treble clef, add some notes, then jump down to the bass clef to add the lower parts. I'd prefer to stay on the keyboard instead of using the mouse. When in editing mode (CTRL E), the up and down arrows do not move between staves. Its an editing function for note input, rather than a score setup issue.
