![]() ![]() Writing and Performing Music With Notion 3 Chord symbols can be attached anywhere over empty measures, meaning lead sheets can be created in no time!Īs the story goes Notion 3 began as an music notation product that features sounds recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. As it has matured it has also evolved into a rehearsal and accompaniment product that has been used very successfully over the years by many different organizations to accompany live performances such as Broadway musicals and live concerts. Notion 3's engraving abilities are on par with Sibelius and Finale, but still go a step farther to bring these live accompaniment features into the classroom.ÂĪt first glance several things stand out about Notion. First of all the program is huge and is shipped on two DVD's in a very cool looking case. It takes quite a while to install, even on a fast machine and has several plug in programs that must also be installed in order to get the full benefits of the package. Each of these three products must also be activated over the Internet to avoid naggingly annoying copy protection measures, but the activation process is simple and fairly quick to complete. Even though the program is huge, it does not feel like a bloated piece of software. In particular it seems that Notion has benefited from its relatively newcomer status in that it is not beholden to legacy versions and old methods of saving files. Instead of the common three letter file extensions that harken back to Windows 98 and before, Notion files are saved with the very descriptive '.notion' extension. It also makes use of other modern technologies such as ReWire to working with audio and other programs an almost seamless event.
