Sibelius/Finale
2009-11-28 by Roberto Fasciani
Has anyone used Sibelius or Finale to scan printed music and play it on a
Disklavier?
Yes! I used both. With Finale you have only
to import the MIDI file saved in another sequencer program like Cakewalk and
save it with high sensitivity (just to avoid some fast note to be
omitted).
Do the right and left hands both play acoustically, and can each be muted
separately?
I used a trick: save your score separately for
left and right hand selecting and deleting the other whole hand in the
score.
You got 2 MIDI files with a single hand. Now
import these 2 files in Cakewalk (or similiar) and assign them two separate
channels (and obviouosly instrument = piano). You will get a new MIDI with
separate channels for each hand you may mute at your will. Or simply use the
file with the hand you need. I used yhis way several times to learn
separately left and right hand.
