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 SE

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.

3. Change the quantization settings as appropriate for your selection.

4. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

RESULT

The notated durations of all selected notes are changed according to the quantization options

you set. This does not affect their played duration in playback.
