Lyrics are a world of hurt on Notion for PC (and iPad).Every program should be able to export audio so effortlessly in so many formats. It can save audio natively (there is a conversion, but it occurs as part of the process with no extra input needed) from the iPad as an Apple audio file. Notion for the iPad actually does a better job of exporting audio than Notion for PC or Finale.I like things to “just work,” and Notion nails audio the first time. You can mess around with settings in Finale to solve this issue or export audio to an audio editor (like Audacity) but this adds steps to a process when your time is already limited. In truth, the Garritan sounds of Finale are excellent, but they export at a very soft level. I like the sounds in Notion better than Finale.A repeat sign can be double-clicked to set the number of times it will repeat.

Swing (SHIFT + G) can be set from the actual word “Swing,” a fermata can be double-clicked to show how long to hold it.

Many items are double-clickable to set playback functions.

This may sound archaic, but it works very well…the challenge is going back to your music and putting ties and slurs where they belong.

Slurs and Ties are added with their own tool, SHIFT+S for Slur, SHIFT + T for Ties.

Many new users will adapt quickly to this format, although the keys are not strategically next to each other. As a Finale user, this takes some getting used to (Quarter = 5 in Speedy, OPT & 5 in Simple), but it makes sense.

Notion changes note durations with keyboard shortcuts (or you can open a menu) where the letter name is the type of note (e.g.

The two programs work (and look) very much alike, which is a good strategy. If you have used the iPad version of Notion, you will be more prepared for working with the program than if you come to the program without that background. I have never used or purchased Sibelius, so my basis of comparison has to be Finale. So…I’ve now used Notion PC in all the various aspects that I use a notation program: a pure import, an import from scanning, and with a file from scratch.Īs a warning, if you are a Sibelius user, the next thoughts will be highly “Finale” in nature. This afternoon, when I got home from church, I created a file from scratch with Notion for PC. Then I edited a song I had scanned with PhotoScore Ultimate (exported via MusicXML) in Notion for PC. I started using Notion for PC the same way…importing scores from Finale (via MusicXML) to Notion for PC. I’ve been using Notion for iPad in conjunction with Finale (remember: I’m a heavy-duty Finale user).

There is a competitive upgrade for $69, but truthfully, I was fine with the price of $99. I’ve been putting off the purchase of Notion for PC, but decided to buy it. I’ve written about this is in the past, but this may be one of the only ways to keep (or earn) customers in the MuseScore era…a lower price point with (expensive) add-ons for those that need them (or in other terms, specialty sounds).

Notion 4 is the latest version of the PC software, and Notion did one amazing thing: they made the software $99, versus its prior price point of $299. He had to cut expenses and staff–but now has a small team of developers that do a tremendous amount of work in their offices. When he assumed his role as CEO, his goal was to bring Notion up to speed. In talking with Notion’s CEO, he felt that versions of Notion prior to Version 3 were not where he wanted them to be. I like what Notion is doing, and this fall they released their 4th version of their PC software. The most recent version allows iPad users to fit more than two measures per staff, as well as to display a “print” version of a score. As I mentioned after TMEA, Notion’s goal is to make the iPad app equivalent in every way to the PC version. Notion for iPad has been getting better and better.
