3. FOR BEST RESULTS
Read the on-line help system for information on setting up
intelliScore to work according to your preferences in the
Options window.  Review the Recording Guidelines sections to
learn how to record the best wave files.  The New Project
Wizard steps you through the process of preparing
intelliScore to generate midi files and is designed to help
you achieve the most accurate recognition results in the
shortest amount of time.  A Case Study is also included which
applies these steps to one of the sample wave files included
on the installation media.  To take advantage of these
features, we therefore recommended that you install the Help
and Sample files along with the Application files.
