To create the MIDI file, follow the instructions from your sequencer. Imported MIDI files use the settings in the default document specified in the Preferences - New dialog box. When you open a MIDI file, Finale uses the track name as the instrument name. When you save a MIDI file, Finale saves the instrument name (from the ScoreManager) as the track name. If you prefer to compose by improvising in your favorite sequencer, you could save your piece as a standard MIDI file and let Finale notate it for you. The MIDI file format can be understood by music programs from many different companies, including most sequencer programs, even on other operating systems. Finale can both import and export standard MIDI files.
