Hi there, I just got a midi keyboard controller and it is working fine, but I am wondering if it is possible to input notes on two or more parts at once? For example if I'm writing for tenor and baritone sax? Is there a setting where I can input the notes together pressing two keys at once and the higher one will go to the tenor and the lower one to the baritone line?

If you use real time entry via Hyperscribe, use (in the menu) "Split into Two Staves".
Otherwise, enter them in one staff and use Explode (Utilities menu) to distribute the notes onto 2 staves.
