To
edit continuous data
If you’ve saved continuous data from a
performance in Transcription mode, you can edit it directly even when
the performance has been transcribed into standard notation.
- Click the MIDI
Tool .
- Choose Continuous Data from the MIDI Tool menu.
The View Continuous Data dialog box appears, and you can choose
the MIDI data you want to edit.
- Specify the continuous data you want to edit.
If the continuous data type
you want to edit is listed in the dialog box, select it from the popup
menu (Sustain Pedal, Modulation Wheel, and so on). If not, click the Listen
checkbox and play the controller. Finale enters the correct controller
number in the text box automatically.
- Click OK (or press return).
- Select the measures whose continuous data you
want to edit. Click to select one measure, shift-click to select
additional measures, drag-enclose to select several on-screen measures,
click to the left of the staff to select the entire staff, or choose Select
All from the Edit menu. If you want to edit only a few measures on a single
staff, select them, and then double-click the highlighted region to enter
the MIDI Tool window. Drag
through the display area above the notes whose continuous data you want
to edit.
- Edit the selected region by choosing the appropriate
command from the MIDI Tool menu. Choose Set To to specify a uniform
value for the controller or wheel setting for all notes in the selected
region. Choose Scale to create a gradual change in the continuous data setting over the selected region. Choose
Add to add a positive or negative amount to all the controller’s values
in the selected region. Choose Percent Alter to change the values in the
selected region by a percentage of their original amounts. Choose Limit
to specify a maximum or minimum value for the continuous data in the selected region. (See also Set
