New update (3.0.239)

[fabiolcati]

Hi all, and dgriffee first.
I apologize if my words sounded as they were from an upset person: I just wanted to be dry, not cold-hearted.
I'm not blind to their effort in improving Notion
and aware about what they are doing under heavy weather conditions (look at the shot from outside London's fair!)
And, last but not least, I agree with you

they are probably all on extreme brain overload with the exhilaration of emerging as a significant player in the marketplace

definitely, the time they can enjoy their stock options on a Caribbean island is far to come!
Good luck
Greetings

Hello everyone,

I am sorry to have "disappeared" for a while, and yes, you guessed it, it was all because of NAMM. I have just updated the Latest Updates thread here: http://forum.notionmusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=313.

@ Novatlan:

We will add the keyboard entry mode in future updates, rest assured. Pace with us, we can only do so much at a time, especially with a show like NAMM being around the corner. As far as the window centering - can you tell me more about that? What screens do not center properly for you?

@everyone:

We had a fantastic show. It was amazing to see so much interest and a ton of great responses at NAMM. NOTION3 was the main attraction of course and it rocked.

Thanks

@astinov:
Sorry for always being too impatient
You are doing great! I wish the other application I use would be updated as frequently.

I have submitted a few bug reports about the window issue. Basically it is just that some windows (preferences, about screen) do not appear at the centre of the screen when invoked. This is a very minor cosmetic issue - I was just wondering that is has not been fixed

So far my experiences with the new version have been great. Step input is much better now!
Give me numpad note selection like in Sibelius and the option to drag the page around with the mouse and I'm a happy camper

Will Notion be at Musikmesse? NAMM is a bit far for me, but Musikmesse I'll defiinitively visit.

Hi Folks + Notion,

Been "auditioning" some notation/music programs for about a week now and I think I'm about to settle on Notion3.

This thread caught my eye, though, since I thought screen drag was simply standard interface stuff. The lack of it does make things pretty clunky for moving around.

As to the note input technique, I have only ever used Sibelius casually, but couldn't the keys be re-directed for Notion3 using something like AutoHotKey?

Or is the Notion3/Sibelius entry scheme fundamentally different?

As said, I'm only a casual user of any program, so I'm not yet "fixed" in a particular system...

Welcome!

I believe that it is possible to "re arrange" the keyboard shortcut with something like AutoHotKey. We've never tried it here, but it seems possible.

If you're not sold on the other programs shortcuts you may just try to give N3's a try. I find them to be very simple and that they aid in a very smooth work flow.

Hope this helps!

Yes, you can re-direct the keys on the numberpad to reflect the Sibelius input method, I found a great utility called KeyTweak which I mentioned on a thread here not so long back. It's not exactly the same - you have to toggle between notes and rests, but being an ex-Sibelius-er myself, I found this method much easier than re-learning a whole new keyboard layout. I also re-mapped the '0/ins' to perform 'Esc' in order to "unload" the cursor.

Not to say that there's anything wrong with the Notion3 shortcuts and layout by the way, just a personal preference and tweak.
