To specify a start point within the measure, simply enter the desired measure, beat, and EDU separated by вЂњ|вЂќs ||. If Current Counter Setting is selected in the Playback Settings dialog box, you can click the UP and DOWN ARROW to adjust the measure. And while playback is underway, it changes to show you the current playback location and EDU. Before you begin playback, it indicates the first measure and beat to be played. If the music is already playing when you click this button, Finale stops playback for a moment, plays the last measure of the score, and stops. When you click this button, the Measure text box shows the number of the last measure in the score. If the music is already playing back and you want to skip ahead, click this button for a moment, then release playback will resume from the measure number (that you just changed) in the Measure text box. This button makes the number in the Measure text box advance rapidly. If Multitrack Record is selected in the HyperScribe > Record Mode submenu, you must set up the Score Manager to specify the recording information (which staves or layers to record into, and which channels to receive from). Finale starts recording into the measure you clicked, according to the click and countoff settings, just as if you clicked the Record button. Noteman says: As a shortcut you can click a measure in your score to start recording, instead of using the Record button. Unless youвЂ™re tapping to provide the beat ( Tap is checked in the HyperScribe > Beat Source submenu), Finale waits for the start signal you selected in the Playback and/or Click dialog box before playing the countoff measures and recording your performance. Based on your settings in the Click and Countoff dialog box, Finale either starts recording immediately or after playing the indicated number of countoff measures. Be sure that you have specified a staff for recording into in the Instrument List window. Click Record to start recording when HyperScribe is the selected tool. To resume playback from the location when you clicked Pause, the Current Counter Setting option must be selected in the Playback Settings dialog box. After you click Pause, click Play to resume playback from the place you stopped. If you click Pause playback will stop and the Measure text box will show the measure you stopped at. While the music is playing, the Measure text box shows you the measure being played. Click Stop to halt playback and reset the Measure text box to its original value (or, rather, to the value indicated by the Play From controls see below). If the music is already playing back and you want to hear something again, click this button for a moment, then release playback will resume from the measure number (that you just changed) in the Measure box. Click this button and hold the button down to make the number in the Measure text box decrease rapidly. If the music is already playing back when you click this button, Finale stops playback for a moment, jumps to the beginning of the score, and resumes playback from there. Click this button to enter the number 1 into the Measure text box, which indicates where playback begins. To start recording, you can click Record in Playback Controls after selecting вЂњRвЂќ for a staff in the Mixer, Staff Controls or Score Manager. Playback Controls supports FinaleвЂ™s HyperScribe recording and playback functions as well. Also, Playback Settings give access to the Playback Options dialog box, where you can further specify FinaleвЂ™s playback behavior. Click on the Playback Settings button to open the Playback Settings dialog box where you can specify a number of playback options, such as the tempo, range of measures to be played, overall volume level, and so on. Playback Controls is a docked toolbar or floating window that give you a console for controlling the playback of your score.
