To edit continuous data

If you’ve saved continuous data from a HyperScribe performance, you can edit it directly even when the performance has been transcribed into standard notation.

  1. Choose Window > Advanced Tools. Click the MIDI tool .
  2. Choose MIDI tool > Continuous Data. The View Continuous Data dialog box appears, and you can choose the MIDI data you want to edit.
  3. Specify the continuous data you want to edit. If the continuous data type you want to edit is listed in the dialog box, select it from the drop-down menu (Sustain Pedal, Modulation Wheel, and so on). If not, click the Listen check box and play the controller. Finale enters the correct controller number in the text box automatically.
  4. Click OK (or press ENTER).
  5. Select the measures whose continuous data you want to edit. Click to select one measure, SHIFT+click to select additional measures, drag-enclose to select several on-screen measures, click to the left of the staff to select the entire staff, or choose Edit > Select All. If you want to edit only a few measures on a single staff, select them, and then double-click the highlighted region to enter the MIDI tool split-window. Drag through the display area above the notes whose continuous data you want to edit.
  6. Edit the selected region by choosing the appropriate command from the MIDI tool menu. Choose Set To to specify a uniform value for the controller or wheel setting for all notes in the selected region. Choose Scale to create a gradual change in the continuous data setting over the selected region. Choose Add to add a positive or negative amount to all the controller’s values in the selected region. Choose Percent Alter to change the values in the selected region by a percentage of their original amounts. Choose Limit to specify a maximum or minimum value for the continuous data in the selected region. (See also Set to dialog box; Scale dialog box; Add dialog box; Percent Alteration dialog box; or Limit dialog box.)
