Your Notion 3 expansion sounds will work in Notion 4

I am wondering if the new Notion4 will have edit facilities in order to edit part between staves , copy parts and bars
export selection as midi which would be great . I really hope they worked on edit functions

Thanks

Jim, I'm going to upgrade from Protégé to the full Notion application but would it make sense to postpone doing so until version 4 is available? I'm not clear about what costs might be involved. I understand there's an upgrade to version 3 for £69.95 but how does version 4 fit in to a potential upgrade from Protégé?

Many thanks.

Hi... Unfortunately there will not be an upgrade path from Protege to Notion 4. Protege has been discontinued for a long time. However, Notion 4 will have an introductory download price of $99. So I would hold off on upgrading Notion3 and pay the little extra for Notion 4.

Thanks, Jim. Yes, I'll be waiting to get version 4.

I just went to look for the new Notion 4 and was dismayed by your pricing. After telling me that it would be available for $99, it appears to be available to me for $134 just because I'm in the UK! What the hell? Everyone else is getting a $99 deal but the UK and Europe is being forced to pay £83 (which is $134 right now) and that's for an electronic download version so that means it's exactly the same product. How do you justify this?
