How to get there

Click the HyperScribe Tool $image\HyperScribe_Tool.gif$ . From the Beat Source submenu of the HyperScribe Menu, choose Tap or Playback and/or Click. In the dialog box that appears, click Other (or choose Other from the Start Signal for Recording drop-down list).

What it does

When you’re preparing for a HyperScribe recording, Finale needs to know what MIDI signal will serve as the tempo reference (or the metronome "trigger"). This dialog box lets you choose a MIDI signal not already listed in the dialog box.

[Code text boxes] • Listen. Unless you’re a MIDI programmer, ignore the codes. Instead, click Listen; Finale will ask you to play the MIDI signal, and it will enter the codes automatically.
OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to discard, your specifications of a MIDI signal. You return to the previous dialog box.
