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.
