the performance has been transcribed into standard notation.

Advanced Tools. Click the MIDI
Tool
.
- Choose MIDI tool > Continuous Data.
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 drop-down
menu (Sustain Pedal, Modulation Wheel, and so on). If not, click the Listen
checkbox and play the controller. Finale enters the correct controller

the MIDI tool split-window. Drag
through the display area above the notes whose continuous data you want
to edit.
- Edit the selected region by choosing the appropriate

region. Choose Scale to create a gradual change in the continuous datasetting over the selected region. Choose

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
