How can I just record some piano midi and let Cubase follow?

Method #2…
4) Create a new MIDI track, routed to some percussive/metronome sound, put it into Record, and “tap” along to your recorded Piano track, playing, normally, quarter-notes, just as if you were “conducting” the music (it becomes quite easy to do this once you’ve gotten the hang of it, especially seeing as it was you who played the piano part in the first place. And, in any case, seeing as this “tapping” is just a regular MIDI track, you can edit it afterwards until you are satisfied that it fits your music nicely).
5) Put this “tapping” track into Linear Timebase also.
6) Select the MIDI Part that contains your “tapping”, and set the Left and Right Locators to its boundaries.
7) Go to the MIDI Menu>Functions>“Merge Tempo from Tapping”, and, in the dialog that opens, set “Tapping” to 1/4 (if that is what you had tapped ), and checkmark the option “Begin at Bar Start”

Wow! I’ve been trying to work out the best way of doing this for simply ages. Thanks vic_france!
