In Anthem, there are two types of structures than can contain MIDI information: the track list that is accessed under the Opus menu and a score that is displayed using either the New or Open menu item under the Score menu. Each has its own recording methods and each is optimized for the data structure it contains. You are not limited by this dual mode since material recorded in a score can be pasted into a track list and track list recorded material can be pasted into a score. Conversion of data types is automatic. This section describes how to record into a score.
 
Other than pasting recorded material from the tracklist into the score, there are two ways of recording directly into the score. The first method uses the Record Pane as shown below. Click on the step button as shown
 
An equivalent way to do this is to
select this menu item as shown on  
the right. Either way will bring up the
dialog box as shown below.
 
Receiving the MIDI note number shown
will cause a rest to be generated instead
of a note. The duration of the note will
be the duration that you've selected
in the Note Tool Pane. Below, an eighth
note is selected.
 
Before recording, click into the score
on the measure that you would like
to begin recording. You can now play
into the score. The number of measures
will automatically be increased to match
your performance.
Summary
To record into the score (the order of the first three is not important):
1) Click the step button on the record pane or select "Midi note Entry"
menu item.
2) Select a note duration in the Note Tool Pane
3) Click into the score to show Anthem where to begin to record.
4) Play notes on your MIDI instrument. Notes should appear in the staff as you play.
