Cuts let you record a piece step by step. You define as many sections in a piece as you like and record them easily one at a time.

You can place cuts by tapping on “Yes” after entering the recording name and choosing a cover. The first cut always starts with the beginning of a piece. You can set the end of the first cut by tapping anywhere in the score. Continue to do so, until you have set all of your desired cuts. After you have placed all cuts, tap on “Cuts finished” on the top right of the screen. The recording editor window opens. Here you can see all cuts and the page range of each cut. Continue to record each cut by tapping on the record icon. You can edit cuts, synchronize them and use the Punch-In feature before finalizing the recording and merging the cuts.

You can edit you cuts by tapping on “Edit” in the recording editor window. Should you want to change a cut, tap on the red and green dots of the cut that you want to change. A trash icon will appear on top and you can delete this cut position by tapping on the trash icon. Set a new position for this cut by tapping in the desired bar. After you have placed all cuts, tap on “Cuts finished” on the top right of the screen.

Punch-In lets you re-record from any point in case of mistakes etc. This works only after you have synchronized the respective cut or entire piece. Tap on the Punch-In icon and tap at the beginning of the section that you want to re-record. MUSICA PIANO lets you listen to what you have recorded already a few seconds prior to the Punch-In point and starts to record and overwrite when it reaches the Punch-In point. After re-recording, tap on “Stop Recording” and synchronize the cut/piece again.

In order to synchronize repeated sections in the music, you can define Stop & Go Points while synchronizing. Set a last sync point at the very end of the repeated section and tap on “Pause synchronizing”. Tap on this last sync point and then on the “S&G”-icon to define it as stop point. MUSICA PIANO now prompts you to place a next sync point, which can – contrary to the normal sync points – be anywhere at an earlier position in the music. Place the next sync point at the beginning of the repeated section in order to synchronize the repeat. MUSICA PIANO will directly start to play back your recording and you can continue to set sync points. Do the same for any number of repeats.

Tap on the sync point from which you would like to start off again and tap on the play-icon in this menu. This resumes the sync process from this sync point.

After choosing which cut (or entire piece) to synchronize, tap on the green dot. The playback immediately starts and you will hear your recording. Tap on the notes in the score right in the moment you hear them in your recording. By doing this, you visually connect the score to your recording, indicated by black sync points (with values in seconds). You can pause the sync process by tapping on “Pause synchronizing” on the top right. You can shorten (clip) the recording of a cut or piece by tapping on the red dot directly at the end your playing. By doing this, the unwanted rest of the recording will be cut and deleted. This allows for the best result in merging the cuts.

You can delete any sync points by tapping on a sync point. A trash icon will appear and you can delete this sync point position by tapping the trash icon.
