Retrieving played notes that you did not record
During playback, you can play notes on your MIDI keyboard and hear them without recording
them into the score. You can use retrospective recording to retrieve these notes and input them
into the project without previously explicitly recording them.
PREREQUISITE
You have started playback, played notes on a MIDI device alongside playback, then stopped
playback.
PROCEDURE
1.
Select a note or rest on the staff where you want to input the retrieved notes.
2.
Optional: If you want to input retrieved notes without overwriting any existing notes on the
staff, press Q to activate Chords.
3.
Press Ctrl/Cmd-Alt/Opt-R .
RESULT
All the notes you played on your MIDI device during the previous playback are input on the
selected staff, starting from the selected rhythmic position. They are input into the
rst available
voice on the staff and overwrite any existing notes in that voice by default. If you activated
Chords, the retrieved notes are merged into the rst available voice on the staff without
overwriting any existing notes.
NOTE
The retrospective recording buffer is cleared each time you start playback, meaning you cannot
retrieve music you played before the most recent playback.

Repeats in MIDI recording
When recording MIDI into ows that contain repeat structures, such as repeat barlines, Dorico
Elements records the notes you play during each playthrough and merges them together into
the same voice.
Any differences in rhythms between the recordings are notated according to the current meter.
Requantizing notes
You can requantize notes using different quantization settings, for example, if you want to
change notated rhythms after importing MIDI or recording notes using a MIDI device. This does
not affect the played duration of notes in playback.
PROCEDURE
1.
Select all the notes you want to requantize. You can do this in Write mode and Play mode.
2.
Choose Edit > Requantize to open the MIDI Quantize Options dialog.
