NOTION Music Forum

Hi, is it time for an upgrade in ipad?

i notice alot of weird things happening in notion ipad...like trills symbols appearing in wrong places...not working..articulations not working, pauses in cuttin n pasting,...audio button not always sounding. when playing chords with onscreen keyboard and the keys are still pressed down..until you press them again!
I could go on and on.
Pls someone tell me it's due to the ipad 2 performance.
Thanks

Have you tried restarting the iPad? I know that there isn't supposed to be an issue with leaving apps running in the background, but my experience has been that force quitting apps and/or restarting occasionally can very often clear up problems.

sorry i have done that. I take it you have an ipad 2 and have zero problems.

Wether it makes any difference to workload...i do orchestral music.

Thanks for suggestions

I also do orchestral scores on an iPad 2 and have many problems. Like you, I've tried shutting down and restarting my device. Sometimes that helps, but not with everything. The biggest problem is extremely limited processing power that results in playback becoming wildly distorted, instruments dropping out, or the whole score freezing. Sometimes this can be fixed by halting playback and restarting close to where you stopped. I've also had some of the other problems you mention, but honestly must say most I eventually figure out are my errors - subtle things I've done incorrectly. One I just discovered is writing divisi, voice 1 first, then voice 2, and forgetting to switch back to voice one when I move to another instrument. This can screw up dynamics, rests, articulations, etc.
