To use multitrack recording (HyperScribe)

When you’re using multitrack recording, remember to specify the recording options in the Instrument List window, otherwise Finale won’t know which staves to record into, or which channels to receive from. As with other HyperScribe record modes, you can have Finale wait for a click (Tap or External MIDI Sync is selected in the Beat Source submenu). If you prefer, however, you can have Finale provide a metronome click, which can be triggered by playing a certain MIDI note (if Playback and/or Click is selected in the Beat Source submenu).

1. Choose Quantization Settings from the MIDI menu. Adjust the settings, then click OK. See Quantization Settings dialog box for more information.
2. Click the HyperScribe Tool  . The HyperScribe menu appears. The first decision you have to make is whether or not you want Finale to provide a click.
3. From the Beat Source submenu of the HyperScribe menu, choose Playback and/or Click. The Playback and/or Click dialog box appears. (See Playback and/or Click dialog box) 
4. Click the note duration you would like to use for your beat from the Beat Equals palette. Type in the number of EDUs for any duration that is not available from the palette.
5. If you know what tempo you want to record at, enter the tempo into the Tempo text box. If you prefer to have Finale calculate the tempo for you, click Listen (the Listen to Tempo dialog box will appear), then tap any key on your MIDI keyboard in the desired tempo. Finale will enter the tempo you tapped. See Listen to Tempo dialog box.
6. Select Play Staves While Recording if you want all the set up staves in the instrument list to play back while Finale provides a click.
7. Choose a start signal from the Start Signal for Recording drop-down list. Finale will delay starting the countoff measures and recording until it receives a start signal. Choose None (Record Immediately) if you don’t want to use a signal to start recording—Finale will immediately start recording (after playing the countoff, if one was specified); choose Any MIDI Data for Finale to start recording upon receiving any MIDI signal that’s played; choose Current Metronome Sound to use the same MIDI signal for the metronome click; choose Standard Sustain Pedal or Nonstandard Sustain Pedal to signal the start by depressing the foot pedal; choose Other to define an alternate MIDI signal as the start signal in the MIDI Event dialog box (see MIDI Event dialog box).
8. Click on Click and Countoff to set up your click and countoff options. For details, see Click and Countoff.
9. Choose Multitrack Record from the Record Mode submenu of the HyperScribe menu.
10. Choose Instrument List from the Window menu, if it isn’t already selected. Click the appropriate P (Play) or S (Solo) columns to determine which staves will play back as you record. (For more information, see Instrument List window.)
11. Click in a staff’s R (Record) column to specify that music will be recorded into the staff (a black triangle appears in the column). To record into different layers of a staff, expand the staff list by clicking on the control arrow next to the staff name, then click in the Record column for each layer you want to record into. Click again to remove a triangle from a staff or layer previously selected for recording.
12. Enter the channel number that will be recorded for each staff or layer in the RChan column. To specify different channels for the layers of a staff, expand the staff list by clicking on the control arrow next to the staff name, then enter the channel numbers into the RChan columns for those layers. Finale displays the word Mixed next to the Staff name in the RChan column, indicating that Finale will be recording into one or more layers of the staff, from more than one channel.
13. Close the Instrument List. Clicking on the minimize icon in the upper right corner.
14. Choose Playback Controls from the Window menu, if it isn’t already selected. See Playback Settings dialog box.
15. In the Measure text box, enter a new measure number to indicate where to start you transcribing.
16. When you’re ready to start recording, signal Finale to start (if a start signal was selected). Click the Record button in the Playback Controls. Or, click a measure in your score where you want recording to begin. Finale will use the settings in the Instrument List to determine which channels to receive from or which staves to record into, then begin countoff and recording.

Note: If you click a measure to start recording, Finale will start recording into the measure you clicked, not the measure displayed in the Playback Controls.

17. When you’re finished, (if you are providing the beat), give one extra tap. The extra tap is required to fill out the beat, for the benefit of Finale’s quantization feature.

Note: If you stop in the middle of a measure, Finale automatically fills the rest of the measure with rests. If you’re HyperScribing over an existing passage and accidentally play partway into an existing measure that you wanted to preserve, ctrl-click to end the recording; Finale won’t transcribe the new notes you’ve played in the half-completed measure.

17. Click anywhere on the screen to stop recording and exit the HyperScribe dialog box (if it is displayed). If the quantization or split point settings weren’t quite right, change them; then click the first measure and try the performance again. HyperScribe will overwrite whatever music is already on the staff. If you can’t seem to find a split point that works to separate the music into the proper staves, use the Note Mover to correct any split point errors (see To correct split point errors).
