As a "Simpleton" now trying Speedy I have realised what I have been missing and I will persevere with my learning. A couple of questions- sorry to be so boring to some experts!
I'm on PC, Fin2001d. I will use MIDI when I mean 'piano' keyboard, and 'keyboard' when I mean QWERTY. I know if I hold down a note or chord on Midi I can enter keyboard 4,5,6, etc and enter quaver, crotchet, minim. A great boon when entering Trom, Horn, chords etc! Question- can I reverse the procedure? That is, somehow hold down Keyboard 5 (f'rinstance) and play a series of different MIDI chords to enter a series of different crotchet chords. I am aware I can do this in Hyper, but my pianistic skills aren't good enough to play rhythmically correct chords consistently. If I hold down 5, then look to my Midi I find I have several measures full of Crotchet rests! OOPS! BTW I was somewhat surprised to see that when working on Horn, or other transposed parts, I entered notes at Horn pitch or whatever and not Concert pitch. No problem whatsoever in doing this but considering Finale transposes for playback, mass-mover and everything else I was surprised. Another question; As some will be aware I have recently upgraded my basic PC and it's working well. Twice yesterday trying Speedy my system froze solid. Nothing cleared it except UNPLUG power, and re-boot. It has happened only once in the last year using Simple entry- but twice in one day on Speedy which makes me wonder. Why does this happen and what is the correct 'unfreeze' procedure? UNPLUG power works, but you lose everything and I'm sure there must be an "official" way to do this. No?
