Using InTime with Music Notation Software
Synopsis
This demo shows how to use InTime to simplify the music notation process. We record a piano piece while InTime tracks the tempo. We save the piece, along with the tempo track, as a standard midi file. Finally, we import the MIDI file into our favorite music notation software, for a (nearly) flawless transcription of the rhythm.
We recorded a Bach Prelude using the most sensitive tempo tracking setting in InTime. The body of the piece had only moderate rubato. However, in the final ritard (last three bars) the tempo slows from 80 bpm to 42 bpm. We recorded simultaneously, both with and without InTime and imported the MIDI files into Finale for a comparison. The piece is based on a simple rhythmic figure, running 16th notes, so it is easy to look and see what's right and wrong in the notation. Here’s the difference, without any cleanup of the imported files:
