How to get MIDI Guitar 2 working with Finale 26 in Windows 10

[JamO]

Thank you very much for this walkthrough!

For the sake of completeness, it should be noticed that most notation applications do a better job layouting score/tablature from a midi file, rather than a live midi stream. Thats because its easier for the notation application to see the context when it knows the entiere score. For this reason you will likely get better results with the following approach:

1. Record MIDI from MIDI Guitar using your favorite DAW (as described here: jamorigin.com/daw)
2. Export it to a MIDI file, using the DAW
3. Import the MIDI file into the notation application.

Lastly, i can reveal that we are working on a complete recording/notation solution:

Guitar to midi to tablature

Yep! We’ve been working on a complete auto-scoring solution for 3 years now… but at this time i cant disclose anything about it or promise anything. We feel that using existing tools is not ideal… its possible to record a MIDI with a DAW, save it to a MIDI file and then import that into your notation software. Importing a full MIDI file will give better results than live streaming MIDI into notation. But its tedius and many tools for layouting and correcting notation/tabs are kind of non-exist…
