More questions from a man on a journey...

1. If I write music down onto staff sheets, should I be keeping measures the same size? I've got a waltz where I'm putting down a dotted-half-notes and so I'm closing the measure earlier than the one preceding it with three quart notes (obviously this is in 3/4 time). I'm wondering if anyone's picked up some **** habits from doing this.

2. Aside from the mind-numbing practice of scale runs, anyone have a good way to beat it into your head that notes are sharped in certain keys? I've just been playing a song in A major to learn that scale.
