Split points

To specify a point at which a measure may split across a system (line) break, see To split a measure across a system break.

You’ll need to specify a different kind of split point when you use Finale’s real-time transcription tool to transcribe a two-handed keyboard performance. Since the computer can’t “see” your hands, you must tell it how it should split your performance onto the two staves. To adjust the split point based on a defined ‘hand width’ for regions of your score, or the entire document, use the Smart Split Point plug-in.
