I'm considering purchasing Notion 3, and am currently playing around with the demo. I would be using it with a variety of libraries, including Garritan, EastWest, possibly Miroslav, along with some other less common ones.
As I was fiddling around with Garritan staffs today, I came upon a question about using overlay patches. Garritan has overlay patches for f and ff dynamics on the brass instruments, to get that raspy punch. Is there a way to get these overlays to be used when playing above a certain dynamic level? If I understand things correctly, I can set up the overlay in a different channel in the Garritan VST window and then insert instrument changes in the staff whenever I go to or from a fortissimo dynamic, but apart from the inconvenience of it (which I can tolerate), the overlays aren't meant to be used alone, but to overlay on top of the regular patch, so this isn't really a solution.
Is there some way to edit the rules to add a second channel or something with certain dynamics, or some other way to make this work without having to add a dummy staff (which really defeats the purpose of having a notation program in the first place; I can just stick to a sequencer if I'm going to have to deal with that kind of stuff)?

Re: Using Overlays for loud dynamics
Hmmmm..... Upon thinking about it, at least in Garritan I could put the overlay and the standard patch on the same channel, and then set up a channel change for the accent mark in Notion. Any other ideas?
