NOTION Music Forum

Hello, I REALLY like Notion. I am currently evaluating it's features compared to Sibelius....

A deciding factor for me will be how easy it is to repeat a note from the computer keyboard.

In Sibelius, I can select an individual note and hit 'r' and the note repeats... then I can use the up and down arrows to adjust the pitch location, the number pad for value. This has been a very efficient entry method for me. I can make adjustment regarding what keys to press to adjust value (Q,H...), but....

Is there a one-key way to do repeat a specific note and it's value in Notion?

Thanks.

Well, sort of:

If you select a note you just entered (click on its notehead so that it turns yellow), pressing the A key on your computer keyboard will play that pitch, with the correct instrument sound, as long as the key is held down. The up and down arrows can move the pitch, and shift-up-arrow/shift-down-arrow moves the pitch in half steps. As far as I know, there is no way to repeat a note incessantly at its current duration and tempo.

Best wishes,
