Chapter 9: Recording Tracks 129

3. As the song plays, play the melody on any keys on the bottom two rows of

the QWERTY keyboard, in the rhythm of the melody. The “wizard” notes

won't be the correct melody of course, but don't worry about that as you

record. When you're finished, look in the Notation window. You’ll see

notes in the right places and with the correct durations, but with the wrong

pitches.

4. Drag the notes with the mouse and drop them on the correct place on the

staff. You’ll hear the notes play as you drop them, and the names will show

in the note name box. For sharps, flats, and naturals, hold down the shift

key, control key, or

key respectively. You'll end up with a melody that

sounds like it was recorded live, without the rigid feel of tracks entered in

step time.

Tip: If you have the wizard “On,” the spacebar won’t stop playback. You need to press

[Esc] key to stop playback when the Wizard is on. This is to prevent stopping the song

inadvertently if you mistakenly hit the spacebar while playing the wizard.

Importing Pre-Recorded MIDI Data

Standard MIDI files can be read in to the Melody or Soloist tracks from MIDI

files or from the clipboard. You can read in all of a MIDI file, or selected

channels and a specific range of bars. Use one of the following two commands:

1. MEL | Import Melody from MIDI File… to select a MIDI file from disk

using the file dialog.

2. MEL | Import Melody from Clipboard - when the MIDI data is already

copied from another program to the clipboard.

Once chosen, the Import MIDI File dialog box opens.
