Yes. But she will have to have mastered Finale's quantization settings to get anything approaching a clean score. If that happy situation arrives, look into the Auto-Dynamics plugin by Tim Wright to get some expressions into the score. > and 2)there be a useful file for printing out?

In spite of recent improvements to HyperScribe, I still think most flexible way to capture a live recording in Finale is to use the Transcription Window. It allows for multiple passes and permits altering the measure and beat indicators before transcribing. Once again though, it requires thorough familiarity with the tools used. If you do really want to retain every nuance of the original Midi recording and have it look beautiful in print, Finale can do it. There's absolutely no doubt about that.
