Surfwhammy, you don't admit another thoughts than yours and you don't use bass cleff nor flats if you can avoid them which is an strange way of doing things and most people don't share it.
I'm very happy with Notion 4 beacuse it's very affordable, it sounds good, it's easy and it works fine and efficiently. Some engraving options more, a better way of printing parts and a cross staff feature will make Notion my perfect notation program. And I think it's possible.
That's the point.
Surfwhammy, I understand your kind very well, you feel compelled to write, explain and illustrate, you are unortodox in your thinking, uncapable of writing only two lines of text, you want to reinvent things and don't have a compromise with how things have been done for years, and that's a good thing from certain point of view. I read your posts (should I say articles) with interest, and when I don't have the interest in reading some of the big ones, I just let them alone, with no reason for criticism to you or your exaustive text. But sometimes, like in this case, you might as well spend your time in more productive tasks.
It's clear that, if implementing cross-staff notation in Notion was a simple task, it had been already done. So there are difficulties - probably this is something that isn't covered in the base code, so it's hard work. But there's no reason to invent even more dificulties using the Window of Opportunity and other Sheldon Cooper's arguments. (I love that sitcom...).
And the fact that it's hard to do is not enough argument for not doing it. Cross-staff notation is making its way to the top of the list of priorities -for me and, i think, for most of us- and the only way to remove it from the list is to eventually implement it.
