Note Input: A Cry for Help

Greetings :)

I am totally lost.
For the last two hours I have unsuccessfully tried to enter two (!) bars of a string quartet into Notion just using my (musical) keyboard, not the mouse.
Am I too stupid to use this application?
I have uploaded my cry for help to novatlan-sound.de/notion_input.pdf
Please help me! I love the concept of Notion, but I don't seem to conprehend how inputting works :(

Hi Novatlan,

This may have been discussed at another post as well, but I'll add to this thread as well.

The backspace and move back functionality will be added to a future update,but essentially, this is the reason why you are not getting the right results.

Currently, you need to click at the end of the bar where you want to continue inputting, after you undo. So say you entered a wrong note and you undo. Be sure to click at the end of the bar where you want to continue, not at the beginning, close to the beginning of the new bar. You should see the cursor move away from the note and be on the beat following it. You can now continue inputting notes in this bar. It takes a little getting used to and we'll optimize that, but this should allow you to work.

Hope this helps, and rest assured we'll add the backspace functionality as well.

Lubo Astinov

Ok, I tried it now for a bit of time and it works! Thanks!
Notion still feels a bit hard to use, but I think I'll get used to it.

Any chance for seeing a draggable score? That would be great!
