As a classically-trained musician, it’s easier and faster for me to put my thoughts on a staff, so I can get what I hear in my head to what I hear with my ears much more conveniently. After I purchased Notion, I created a short piece for three instruments, exported it to MIDI, opened the MIDI in Xequence, connected it to AUM, assigned sound sources and recorded the audio, all without a hitch, and in a very short amount of time. On top of that, the export to MIDI has been a fabulous way to sketch ideas on a staff and easily move it to a MIDI program (my choice is Xequence). Each have their strengths and weaknesses for entering notes/symbols/etc into a project, but as a result of the MusicXML feature, manuscripts can easily be moved from one platform to another. I congratulate all three for their excellent implementation of the MusicXML standard for export/import. Before the iPad, I chose Finale as the program to best meet my needs, but since apps have become available for creating manuscript on the iPad, I purchased Symphony Pro 5, then most recently Notion. As computer printers improved, I watched the process evolve into the software apps available today. There were three primary ways to create music masters at that time, Letraset transfer, music typewriter, and handwritten. In 1974, as part of an MA Music curriculum, I took a course in music manuscript preparation.
