What it does

When you transcribe a real-time performance with HyperScribe, there are several settings that have a significant bearing on how the transcription is recorded. The HyperScribe dialog box reminds you of the values you've chosen for those settings.

Duration. This indicator reminds you which rhythmic value you told Finale you’d be tapping on a key or pedal (HyperScribe > Beat Source > Tap). The displayed number is in EDUsEDUs, or ENIGMA Duration Units, are Finale's high-resolution measurement for the duration of notes and rests, defined as 1024 EDUs per quarter note., 1024 per quarter note. This value is of particular importance if you are using tap states.
Smallest Note. This indicator reminds you of the smallest note value you specified in the Quantization Settings dialog box.
