How to make HyperScribe create the correct note values?

Hi!

I'm using Finale Songwriter 2010. I've always just used the simple entry tool because I've never been able to figure out this issue with HyperScribe: whenever I attempt to use it, it gets the note values completely wrong, littering the score with rests and 16th notes, etc. I'm attempting to figure it out again now. I have the quantization settings set to what is recommended based on the user manual for a 4/4 Time song, but I still have the same problem. It also always throws in an 8th rest at the beginning of each bar. :|
I'm a very experienced pianist, so I do know how to play time values correctly. Maybe there's some lag in my MIDI connection? (if that's even possible...?)

I've heard there is a Tap feature that allows you to create your own metronome beat while you play using the foot pedal, and that this works better, but I can't seem to find the settings for that anywhere in my program. Perhaps its not available in the 2010 version?

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

That seems like a good theory ("latency"). There are various settings to explore in the Finale MIDI/Audio menu. I think playback can even affect what you're experiencing.
