USER INTERFACE FEATURES
EASY SCORE SETUP
Creating a score with NOTION3 is simple, intuitive and fast. You won’t get stuck wading through long lists of options, hunt for the instruments you want or endure multiple repetitive steps every time you start a new score. With NOTION3, your instrument choices are presented in organized and logical groupings using a semi-transparent overlay on top of the score area. This enables you to quickly add, move, change, and delete staves with simple mouse click.
SIMPLY SMART TOOL PALETTE
Think of it as a musician’s tool belt with all the essential tools neatly organized within easy reach. Simply move your cursor over a graphic or text and a menu of options automatically opens. Roll over a different graphic or text, and a different menu opens. If you want quick access to a specific group of tools, you can “lock open” that particular menu. It’s your choice where to place your palette; on the score, docked at the bottom of the screen, or hide it altogether when it’s not in use.
INTERACTIVE FRETBOARD AND CHORD LIBRARY
Many guitarists find it convenient to first capture the fingerings they perform on an instrument before translating them into tab or notation. The interactive Fretboard offers a quick, convenient way to build your score by clicking virtual strings. You can customize the fretboard stringing to resemble (and capture the notes of) a 6 or 7 string guitar, 4 or 5 string bass, or other fretted instruments. NOTION3 also lets you enter chord names or select from the comprehensive chord library and add slash marks to show the rhythm.
NOTION3’S CLEAN & UNCLUTTERED WORKSPACE
EASIER TO USE
Sometimes you can have too many choices. Most other notation software programs try to show you all the options—all the time. As a result, you are often confronted by multiple cryptic icons that usually open pop-up windows onto your score with a whole new batch of options. NOTION3 was built using a different approach—to give you what you need when you need it. Take NOTION3’s Toolbar for example. A perfect blend of form and function, it’s sleek look and controls has the familiar look and feel of an audio component. And if your not sure what a particular button does, a tool-tip appears when you hover your cursor over the symbol with summary information.
EASIER TO LEARN
For a program with the amount of advanced capabilities and features as NOTION3, its design makes it amazingly simple to learn. You won’t have to buy books or take classes on how to master using NOTION3. In fact, the typical user can learn how to compose, produce, publish and perform a score very quickly. You don’t need strong technical skills or detailed knowledge of how to patch different pieces of equipment together—just a basic knowledge of music.
