![]() A publisher, by contrast, might not need sounds at all, but instead will demand the ultimate in typographical flexibility and printed output quality. Composers often want great quality sounds and score playback features, for experimenting, developing compositions and producing demos. I've said it before in the hallowed pages of SOS, and I'll say it again here: notation is a funny old business, and what different individuals ask of notation software is amazingly diverse. Version 3 was reviewed in March 2010 ( /sos/mar10/articles/notion3.htm) and the new Notion 4, reviewed here, introduces plenty of further improvements. Dave Stewart looked at an early version of Notion back in the October 2006 issue of Sound On Sound ( /sos/oct06/articles/virtuosoworks.htm) but, as you'd expect, a considerable amount of development has taken place since then. The company are based jointly in North Carolina, USA and London, UK, and were previously known as Virtuoso Works. Notion 4 is a notation and score playback application for Mac OS, iPad and Windows, developed by Notion Music. Is Notion 4 the first to tick all three boxes?

But above all matters I am still puzzled why if I put cymbal related instruments at the very beginning BUT it is silent unless I COMBINE the crash cymbal or ride or hit hat with a Bass.Ĭurrently it is Monday, 11:31 AM (GMT -5) and again I guess I will have to read the help files for that. and Ron I am not sure what you mean by Percussion map. Mike, I did check the help files but I guess I will do it again. My style is entering each note (piano, drums.) into PM because I am very comfortable with music reading / theory. ![]() Although I have an S90ES Yamaha connected to my computer I do not use MIDI in order to enter the notes (not sure I had to point this out). "As a musician, he's a damn fine woodworker." That's my system, and I'm stickin' to it.įavorite reference: Essential Dictionary of Music Notation, Gerou & Lusk, 1996 Oliver, please take time (if you haven't already) to read the entries in the help files for percussion. Plus and minus keys certainly DO work with PM. If you enter from a MIDI keyboard, you get exactly what you play. I think a PM user will need to explain that behavior. If the + or - doesn't do what I said, then PM is quite different from Finale. but you add a bass or floor tom and it is working just fine (i.e. If anyone knows why you can't start with ride cymbals I would love to know! Same issue with crash and hit hat. I wish there were a better way but again that may be very handy in order to experiment.Ĭoncerning the sound: I found out that if I start with ride cymbal I don't hear anything - IF I add to the ride cymbal a Bass then I can hear sounds just fine. Thank you Zuill: + or - isn't working for me (it makes a flat or a sharp) BUT I found out that if you drag the mouse up and down (while you have a note to be placed) you do get different drum set sounds and it is where you have to pick the one(s) you want. ![]() Favorite Forum quote: "Please, everybody, IGNORE THE TROLL!" ![]()
