Anyone using it with Notion? I just got it, and am having trouble figuring out how to patch it all together. Any advice would be welcome.

Is the Choir showing up under the VST instruments tab in Score Setup? I believe that there is a version of Play that shows up for Symphonic Choirs.

Hi Brian,

I’m still trying to figure out if I have things installed properly, or weather there were older files on the install disks. My understanding was that the wordbuilder is now integrated into Play, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, and I have it as a separate application. I’m going to re-install Play 2.1.2 when I get home this afternoon.

I re-installed the Play engine, and that resolved the WB issue. I re-installed the x64 version, so the Choirs don't show up in the palette.

Is there a way to have lyrics entered in Notion sent directly to WordBuilder ?

It would be nice! But no, Wordbuilder is not setup that way.

Strange...
The text in Notion could be sent to WB. Then WB translates in votox and it's done, no ?
As it's not working at this time, how do you use Notion along with WB ?
(the problem is that if you stop somewhere, the right words do not fall on the right notes and you have to restart from the beginning each time you modify something in the score)

You have to send a CC value to Wordbuilder to reset to the beginning of the text. I still work in Finale, as such things are so easy to do there.

Yes, I know this, it is CC20 (by the way, is Notion able to send such a CC ?).
But, precisely this is the problem (not especially in Notion, I use to work in Reaper) : you must restart to get things going well...
What I would like to do is to stop anywhere, modify things (eventually looping some words for accuracy) and... restart anywhere with the right syllabe fitting the right note ;)
