To specify a movable split point (Transcription Mode only)

If the piece you intend to transcribe doesn’t have any one split point—in other words, if the ranges of notes played by your right and left hands during the piece aren’t completely distinct—you can use Finale’s Moving split point feature. Finale will split a two-handed performance onto the correct staves (usually treble and bass clef) by tracking the positions of your hands as they move up and down the keyboard. As long as there’s a discernible gap between your two hands at any given moment, Finale can adjust the split point on a note-by-note basis automatically.

1. From the Split Point submenu (of the Transcription menu), choose Moving. A dialog box appears.
2. Click Listen, and play a one-hand-width interval on the synthesizer keyboard. Don’t necessarily play the widest interval you can reach. Instead, play the largest interval you played with one hand in the piece; strike the two notes comprising your hand width more or less simultaneously. The number in the Hand Width text box, measured in half steps, changes to reflect the interval you played. (Instead of clicking Listen, you can also enter a number directly into the Hand Width text box.)
3. Click OK. If Finale still makes a few errors in the resultant transcription—for example, if your hands were, at some point, too close together for Finale to track them—see  To correct split point errors.
