What it does
Before you transcribe a real-time performance, there are a few things PrintMusic needs to know about the music you’re about to play. This menu lets you make these settings, which have a great deal to do with the quality of the resulting transcription. Be sure to see also Recording with HyperScribe.
The Record Mode submenu has commands for transcribing a performance into a single staff or two staves.
- Recording Tempo and Click. Choose Recording Tempo and Click to instruct PrintMusic to provide a metronome click for the beat. PrintMusic uses the settings for the metronome click sound and the countoff measures specified in the Click and Countoff dialog box. For details, see Click and Countoff dialog box and Recording Tempo and Click dialog box.
- Record Mode: Record into One Staff • Split into Two Staves. Choose Record into One Staff to have PrintMusic transcribe your music onto a single staff. Choose Split into Two Staves to transcribe the music onto two staves at once. PrintMusic plays the click and countoff specified in the Click and Countoff dialog box. See Click and Countoff dialog box and Recording Tempo and Click dialog box.
- Tie Across Barlines. If you anticipate that you’ll be holding keys down for notes tied over from one measure to another, select this option (so that a check mark appears). If not, leave this option unselected. With this option off, PrintMusic will never tie notes over barlines.
