Jim,
First, thanks for your thoughts. I love my Sibelius but, as you said, it is a different product. What brought me to Notion was the promise of a Notation program that was designed from the ground up as a real-time playback and composing platform. The is approach was radically different from all other notation programs that were designed as notation layout/printing apps first and added real-time playback features latter. It is a design philosophy that, in my opinion, was sorely needed and whose time was ripe. Such a design implies features need for real-time composing. For my teaching tasks I will probably always use Sibelius since it has spent may rears developing layout features. I want to use Notion for composing and rewire. For me that requires certain basics feature such as proper MIDI recording. I can't work without them. I purchased Notion about 3 years ago and have been told all that time that c.c. #64 recording is "on the list". So can you understand my frustration in finding out that I still can't use the program I bought so long ago?
