Those greyed out instruments are for expansion kits, that you can pay extra for, if you want them. See Notion's announcement about the new Notion 3 expansion kits that are available. I just purchased the whole lot, although I'm still having trouble installing them! No doubt, it will be resolved next...

How can you be complaining that a brand new software that you got for $8 is a ripoff, if you have to pay for some extra sounds? You can go ahead and use the Notion 2 sounds, or you can pay for the new ones. I paid for several Notion 2 expansion kits, so I had the choice whether to continue using tho...

Thanks for that tip. The folder indeed said that I could read only. I changed that to Read & Write, and now the "Permission denied" message has gone away. Instead, now it is telling me that all these new files are already installed. But when I open Notion, all the new instruments are s...

Can you give a specific example of what is greyed out, and whether it's in the Notion 2 list or the Notion 3 list? They might just be expansion so...

There have been a number of posts about this. I suggest you do a search. It's probable that the Notion 2 sounds you're missing were ones that were never released with Notion 2, but had "name placeholders" for future releases, OR the sounds you're missing were from expansion kits that you d...

Good to know, thank you. This piece is just for my own enjoyment, so I'm not stressing over it, but as an education, I've been revising the fingering as much as I can to make it truly playable.

Thanks for that advice. I'll check out the links.

Hi. I'm notating for acoustic guitar for the first time, and never having played the guitar, I'm wondering what the limits of fingering on the fret board are. For example, I have notated one of the strings to be on the first fret, and another string to be on the eighth. Is that too much of a stretch...
