If you’re recording a two-handed performance, you can specify that Finale split the transcription onto two staves automatically. If you choose Fixed, you can identify a key on your MIDI keyboard corresponding to a pitch that divides all upper-staff notes from all lower-staff notes. (See Fixed Split Point dialog box.)
If you choose Moving, Finale decides which music to put on each staff according to the width of your hands, based on the hand width interval you enter in the dialog box that appears. The advantage of this method of splitting your performance into right-hand and left-hand parts (as compared with the Fixed option) is that Finale can track the positions of your hands as they move up and down the keyboard, provided there’s a wide enough interval between them for it to know which hand is which; you don’t have to specify a static split point. See Moving Split Point dialog box.
