Transcribing MIDI recordings
Using “Scores Notes To MIDI”
For very complicated scores, there may be situations where
you have tweaked the parameters for Display Quantize and
Interpretation as best you can, and you still cannot get the
score exactly as you want it. Perhaps one setting works fine
in one section of the track and another is needed for an-
other section.
In such a case, “Scores Notes To MIDI” will help you out.
It changes the lengths and position of some or all the MIDI
notes in the edited parts so that they have exactly the val-
ues currently shown on screen.
1. For safety, go back to the Project window and make a
copy of the track.
2. Open the part(s) again in the Score Editor.
If you only want some sections of your score to be “converted”, make
sure to only open those parts.
3. Make sure the notes you want to affect are not hidden
(see “Hiding/showing objects” on page 599).
4. Select “Scores Notes To MIDI” from the Functions
submenu on the Scores menu.
The notes are now “converted”.
5. Make whatever adjustments are needed to make the
score read as intended.
Now that the notes have the exact lengths and positions
that were previously only displayed, you can probably de-
activate many of the options on the Score Settings–Staff
page and delete Display Quantize settings, etc.
If you find the operation did not give you the result you
were after, you can undo your settings or go back to the
original track, make a copy of that, and start over.
