For full instructions on the use of Finale’s real-time transcription tool, HyperScribe, see Recording with HyperScribe and Transcribing a sequence. However, you may find these supplementary instructions helpful.

To transcribe tuplets from a real-time performance 

1. Choose MIDI/Audio > Quantization Settings. If you’ve just recorded a performance in the Transcription Mode, choose Transcription > Quant Settings. These settings are used when importing a MIDI file, and transcribing with the HyperScribe Tool.
2. Select your smallest note duration. If you will be playing nothing smaller than eighth note triplets, choose the sixteenth note.

Tip. If your real-time transcriptions consistently transcribe durations that are too large, lower the smallest note duration, or choose More Settings from the Quantization Settings dialog box. Place a check beside Sensitivity and choose the next smallest duration to your smallest note duration. For example, if your smallest note duration is a sixteenth note, set Sensitivity to a thirty-second note.

4. Click either Mixed Rhythms or Space Notes Evenly. If your music will have a combination of dotted rhythms and tuplets, choose the former. If your music will have only tuplets and evenly spaced rhythms, choose the later.
5. Click OK (or press ENTER). Continue with the transcription in the usual way.
