Click and countoff

  1. From the MIDI/Audio menu, choose Click and Countoff. The Click and Countoff dialog box appears, which allows you to control a variety of settings related to Finale’s click and countoff features. For example, you could instruct Finale to provide a metronome click during playback of your score; or you could instruct Finale to wait for or provide a 2-measure countoff before recording, so that you have a chance to settle into your tempo. The default settings should be correct, but we’ll double-check.

  1. From the Countoff pop-up menu, select While Recording.  
  2. In the Measures text box, type the number of countoff measures you want to hear before recording begins. The default setting is 2.
  3. From the Click pop-up menu, select While Recording.  
  4. Click OK. You have just instructed Finale that a 2-measure countoff is to be used before recording, and that a click is to be used during recording. Now, we’ll instruct Finale that it will be providing the tempo information, not you.
