Record Mode/Multitrack Record

Choose this command to record into any number of staves or layers of staves simultaneously.

When this option is selected, Finale uses the R (Record) column in the ScoreManager to determine what staves or layers to record into. Finale also uses the RChan (Record Channel) column, which only appears when Multitrack Record is selected, to determine the incoming channel(s) for the staff or layer set to record into. Click a measure or click the Record button in the Playback Controls to start recording; Finale notates the music onto the staves or layers selected for recording.
