    Hi Jonathan,

    You can do several things - you can use the Enharmonic tool to correct the notes (Shift+E), you could click-select the note and use Shift+Up or Down arrow - this will give you chromatic transposition and you can move the note up or down untill you get the right pitch, or you can try Transposing the passage to another key (like A Minor) and then transpose it back to Eb minor (not sure how this will go, but just a suggestion to try).

    However, another idea is to avoid the MIDI route all together. I'm not sure about Logic, but I know Cubase supports MusicXML export. If Logic does, I'd highyl recommend using MusicXML files because the level of accuracy is much higher (this is true for any scoring application, not just NOTION). This will also solve the tie issue...

    Hope this works out.

     Thanks Lubo,

    I will give it a try. I think logic does support MusicXML. Great suggestions. I will let you know how it works.

    Thanks

    Lubo,

    Hi

    I see that both Perf-rep staccato and Perf-rep legato sound are already in the N3 SE Presets.

    So, Do N3 actually use those sound or will use?

    For now when writing repeated staccatos it looks that N3 only use standard Staccato sound.

    Is there way to make N3 using Perf-rep sound.

    Thanks

    Again,

    more I use N3 more I love that...

    N3 is GREAT

    Hey there Alain,

    Yes we do plan on supporting those, perf-rep staccato will be easier , we will find some of way of incorporating the perf-rep legato as well.

    Those will come in future updates, yes :)

     Alain got me curious with his enthusiasm.  So is there no "new" Palette or even update available for Notion SLE user yet?

    It hurts to say this but since I bought the VSL Special Edition, I have had many problems with Notion. The files that have VSL sounds won't even open so I can change them back to N3 sounds. I almost wish I didn't spend the $900 plus. In my opinion THE N3 sounds are as good as the VSL sounds. I am kind of at a loss here. If anyone can help me please respond. Thanks - Tony

    Hi Yanick,

    An update for SLE will be released soon as well. The change in the palette is basically moving the expressions from the second row, into a dedicated category on the top row :)

    Hi Anthony,

    I'm more than happy to help. I'll need some more information first...

    "The files that have VSL sounds won't even open so I can change them back to N3 sounds"

    Which files are you refering to ? In NOTION3 or SLE ? NOTION3 doesn't have a any files that have VSL sounds. If you mean the presets they are in score setup. I will need some more details here.

    "I almost wish I didn't spend the $900 plus"

    Special Edition is a fantastic library, I really think once we sort your problems out you will see how gorgeous it can sound. I assure you you made a very good choice by purchasing it.

    Let me know what are the problems you are running into and I'll do my best to help. The best thing is to explain the issue step-by-step and what your desired outcome is vs. the actual issue.

    Thanks.

    Hi Pro-Arte,

    When did you send me the Email? I think I haven't received it or it may have gone in the spam folder by mistake.

    Anyway, Try selecting the whole score and then going to Staff Groups - Make Barline Group. This should group the entire score.

    Let me know if it works

    Lubo: I have been testing "changing an instrument" on the same staff. My findings to date are: 1. The program (NOTION SLE) quits most of the time when trying to click the instrument on the staff once it has been selected. 2. When it does work, if you play from the beginning (using the original instrument that was selected), the playback is "silent." In other words, once you select a "new" instrument down the line or further ahead on the same staff, the previous instrument does not playback when the cursor moves over its notes. Any help or advice appreciated. Johann

    Hello, Lubo.

    Here's what I have going on:

    Notion3, latest update, using Vienna Instruments (not VE Pro) Saxes AATTB, Fl I, Fl II, Oboe (Vienna) Bb Clarinet, and Bassoon, with articulations from the Download versions of each instrument.  Everything plays and sounds fine, until I use one or both of the flutes.  Then, I hear what sounds like crackling you might hear when an instrument red-lines, which is not indicated on the mixer.  Eventually, the playback will freeze for a couple of minutes, then continue with stuck notes until I restart the piece.

    I'm wondering if I have reached already some kind of limit for my computer system (in my signature). I'd like to see if anyone knows about this kind of thing occurring in any other setup.

    Thanks

    Hi Johan,

    I tried recreating the problem here but it worked fine for me. Here is what I did:

     1. Inserted a Violins I preset in the score

     2. Clicked on Violins I and hit Shift+I to bring up the Shift Instrument Dialog

     3. Clicked on the New Instrument button

     4. Chose a Flute and hit OK

     5. Back in the Shift  Instrument dialog I selected Voice 2 for the flute and l;eft it on default channel and hit OK

    Both instruments were playing correctly - the violins were triggered on voice 1 and voice 2 triggered flute notes.

    Are you not getting the same result if you follow the steps above?

    You could be reaching the app limit yes. What I would recommend is save those .fxp presets that you have in the VI instances and use a custom VE preset with assigned channels but make sure you run the 64-bit server first.

    Hope that helps..

    64 bit again… !

    Lubo,

    You have to understand that your team have created the best way to
    use Writing Music Software in conjunction with Instrument plugin" (especially VSL)

    The beauty of both N3 and SLE is that a Musician Composer can create score and
    without any other manipulation be Instantly connected to the right play back instrument.
    It is a real revolution about Music software.
    (personally I'm dreaming about that for 20 years)

    Your answer to mac user to use VE Pro the ONLY 64bit VSL software (on Mac)  is
    one solution (not the best) much more complicated than the Right solution…!

    As Mac user I would like to push you and your TEAM insisting to VSL to
    make VI and VE 64bit on Mac AVAILABLE as soon as possible !

    The fact to have Both VI and VE Mac 64bit will certainly have positiv effects on

    both N3 and VSL products to become the BEST music join venture in the world.

    I'm sure that other Mac users will agree with my comment...

    This is  the opinion of a Composer Musician (not technician)

    Thanks for help.

    Sincerely yours

    Thank you Lubo. MY ERROR was not going to VOICE 2. I didn't read that anywhere in the instructions, so I thought that the "new instrument" was a replacement on VOICE 1. I can see now that going to VOICE 2 makes sense. Will try this and I'm sure it will work. Thank you so much for your expert help Lubo. Johann

    Thanks Alain,

    Rest assured getting to 64 bit is high on our priorities list. Thank you for your kind words!

     Hi Lubo,

    Tonight, i encountered something strange , when i tryied to make Chamber strings playing Bartok pizz, the usual sign wasn't working , I tryied to know if the 2 others worked , yes for the harmonic sign , and the cut circle gave me the Bartok pizz that sound like a col legno, which, as you know, isn't the same ...

    What to do ???

    Thank You
