To enter HyperScribe, click the HyperScribe
Tool. The HyperScribe menu appears. To enter the Transcription window,
click the Transcription Mode, then click the measure where the transcription
is to begin. See Recording
with HyperScribe or Transcribing
a sequence.
- Choose HyperScribe > Record Mode > Split into Two Staves or, when using Transcription mode, choose Transcription > Split Point > Fixed. The Fixed Split Point dialog box
appears, letting you enter a number. The number refers to a specific note
on your MIDI keyboard; middle C is key number 60.
- Click Listen. Finale displays a message,
telling you that it’s listening.
- Play the MIDI note you want to designate as
the split point for your transcription. If your MIDI equipment
is set up properly, the number in the Split MIDI Note text box changes.
(You can also type a number directly into the text box.) When Finale transcribes
your performance, all notes below the note indicated will be put on the
lower staff; all notes above, including the specified note, will be on
the top staff.
- Click OK (or press ENTER).
If your piece has no clear split point, you may find it easiest
to record the right-hand part an octave higher than written. After Finale
transcribes the piece, it’s a simple matter to transpose that staff to
the proper register (see Transposing:
by interval).
