When you record from the music keyboard, you can record into a single staff, or alternatively, into two separate staves that are displayed as right- and left-hand keyboard staves. If you record into two separate staves, Composer automatically distributes the notes between them using the same logic as it uses for the Split Hands command.

To record into a pair of right- and left-hand keyboard staves:

1.	While holding down the CTRL key, drag the mouse to select a region that spans a pair of right- and left-hand keyboard staves, such as illustrated below:

NOTE: The region that you select will be replaced by your punch-in recording.

2.	Follow the normal procedure for recording. Click the Record button, or type CTRL+SPACE, to start recording. See Recording into a Selected Region (Punch-In).
