I've been playing around with the demo version of Finale. Unfortunately, I
don't have access to a synthesiser to try out the Hyperscribe facilities.
Has anybody used it?
I'd be interested in your views on not just Hyperscribe but any real-time
musical transcription routine.
Basically, its beacuse I simply don't believe it can work well.
Afterall, highly skilled professional (human) musicians are not capable of
transcribing music accurately (given any amount of time to do it).
I thus don't believe Hyperscribe can do what its makers claim. Whether it
works in real-time or not is irrelevant. Just whether it works would be
enough.

Thanks in advance.

Graeme.
