Tutorial 1c: HyperScribe

So far, you’ve explored ways of entering music into Finale note-by-note. Simple Entry is useful for working without a MIDI keyboard, and Speedy Entry makes good use of the MIDI keyboard with the computer keyboard for extra speed.

One of Finale’s most useful features, however, is its ability to record and transcribe a live performance in real time. To do this you’ll be using the HyperScribe Tool, which notates your performance almost as fast as you can play it. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to get notes on the page by playing on your MIDI keyboard with HyperScribe.

If you don’t have a MIDI keyboard or microphone, skip ahead to Tutorial 2.
