Some possible double string bass bugs:

1. When writing for strings in Notion 3 and 4, the double bass does not sound one octave below written notes in the full score, as a double bass always do.

Is this a bug or can I fix it myself?

2. But! When I go to the bass in Dynamic Parts the notes are suddenly one octave over than in the full score. So to get the correct pitch I have to transcribe the notes down one octave.

Is this a bug or can I fix it myself? (Cause if I don't do this, the bass players will play in the wrong octave, making it sound totally wrong.

3. And! when I trancribe the notes down one octave, all sharps and flats disappears so I have to go through the whole piece and add them again in the dynamic part.

Is this...?

4. Then, to get the right pitch in the full score again, I have to transcribe the notes one octave up in the full score (cause now they're suddenly one octave too low in the full score as I transcribed it in dynamic parts.) And then the sharps and flats again disappears in the full score, so I have to go through the whole piece AGAIN to add them in the full score.

Is this...?

So it takes at least 1 hour just to make the dynamic part for the double bass. Luckily I write quite tonal music, but if not it would take many hours to do this.

I hope the Notion staff or someone else have any solutions for this. Or is it just a bug that have to be fixed later?

Which transposition setting are you using? (Look under the View menu).
