Does Transcribe! handle musical notation?
No, Transcribe! does not address the question of notating the transcription – some people use notation software, some don’t write anything down at all (they are learning to play something by playing along). Personally I use pencil and paper. You can add textual annotations (see the Text menu) to the transcription, useful for lyrics, chord symbols, comments etc. I don’t plan to add notational capability to Transcribe! – if I give it limited capability then people will immediately start complaining about the things it can’t do, while full-featured music notation is a huge job, and there are already any number of software packages around for music notation, click here. • “Does Transcribe! record or playback MIDI?” No, Transcribe! is for transcribing music from sound recordings. There are any number of software packages around for MIDI, click here. • “Can Transcribe! display videos?” Yes on Windows & Mac (not yet on Linux). You may need to convert the video to a suitable format first, see
