overture 5 vs notion 6

Well not accurately anyway. Curretnly I use Sibelius, but thinking about trying Overture 5 or Notion 6.

Nothing is further from reality. It feels like working with pencil and paper, but with all of the advantages of a computer, like undo, copy and paste, and so on. But in reality, the only people that NEED Finale or Sibelius are those who are actually publishing with an established publisher. The most important thing is that it does what you need it to do.

Overture 5 vs. I don´t give a toss if Overture has engraver quality. While there were rumors that Avid was abandoning Sibelius after many of its programmers were let go, my sources tell me this was simply a change in direction and Avid is committed to Sibelius. like; the articulations, dynamics, and techniques on the side. Don had a great product and I was a big supporter. I already have 5 scores on Noteflight, so I guess it’s good that I prefer it anyway. For what I do–composing, arranging, songwriting, handouts–Notion meets 95% of my everyday needs.

I did like the program, but one of my criteria is that the program will still be available in the foreseeable future. These may not be the same thing. Finale 25, Sibelius 2018, Notion 6, Overture 5, Cubase 10.5, StaffPad Win10 x64, 32GB RAM; Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Kontakt, Bunch of VSL, VIP, VEP, EWQL Orch, Choir and Pianos August Forster 190. Notion is faster and better than either in everything except engraving.

The midi is fully editable, so this is like having a DAW attached to the scoring software. In some ways, particularly for early and modern notation, MuseScore is actually better. But for me, it includes many features I’ll never use and which clutter up its interface. Maybe I’m missing something. so on.

The site license from MusicFirst starts at $195 for 250 users, so in this case, you get cheap, pretty good and pretty easy.My crystal ball isn’t working today, but I’m still confident the future is bright for all of these programs.

It’s far more sophisticated. Period. It automatically handles sample swapping.

You have to set up a “sequencer” track for EACH instrument, which shows as a separate staff.It will only work with the most rudimentary functions and is extremely unreliable.

So let’s take a look at all of them, Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, Notion and Noteflight.Let’s start with the hows and whys of choosing software. But this is where you need to look at what you need to do.

If you try to do things in Notion in the same way you do it in Sibelius, it won’t work well.

There was yet another post the other day asking the age old question, Finale vs. Sibelius and why. There are many I didn’t cover for a variety of reasons.

In fact, for most people, I don’t even think these are the best options. Noteflight is a web-based application that isn’t on the same level as the others. Comments are always welcome. My initial impression is it’s targeting an amateur market.

To see if I’m setting off in the wrong direction.So far it seems to me MuseScore as as good as anything and better than most – and Free!After a few hours with Notion 6 I decided it was not for me.

I personally use Noteflight because it’s cheap and it’s enough for what I need. The user interface has been designed specifically for maximum efficiency and ease of use. The best program is the one that meets your needs, that is my point as well. I’ve tried them all and Denemo can be the most efficient in terms of entering notes with the keyboard using your own customization. Seeing is believing.

When the Sibelius team left Avid, they pretty much en masse joined Steinberg and are hard at work there. And if for some reason you need to use MIDI, you can easily connect to Studio One. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fine, but it’s not up to the level of the other three.

Notion’s shortcuts are incredibly easy to learn and it handles most of the layout for you. Overture 5 is a clear choice at half the price and twice the value. I can play what I write but I can’t write what I play. I’m still mourning Studio Vision.I wasn’t interested in Notion until PreSonus bought it. Yes, it is limited to 5 scores, but if you use it offline (like I do) in order to arrange and compose music for your band or group, then it works perfectly. Try that in Sibelius. Both are very powerful, but the trade off is that they aren’t particularly fast or easy and they certainly aren’t cheap.

Notion and Studio One is the only combination I know of that supports MIDI over Rewire.Interesting post.

But when Gibson pulled the plug on Opcode the primary programs I used were gone. I’m afraid Notation Composer slipped past me, so I’m not at all familiar with it. One example would be Overture, a program I used and taught for a while in the mid-90s.

It’s no fun learning a program, preparing teaching materials and then have it orphaned.

In the end, I’m much more productive with a more basic program like Google Docs.Longevity is also an important factor. Notion is $150, so in this case, you get pretty cheap, pretty good and very fast.The last option is quite different from the others. Notion requires a different way of working, really. Not a bad idea, but not the audience for whom I intended this post.. For the Finale and Sibelius, I really don’t find any difference from each other. Is there a BOOK on using Notion? Actually, the best program is the one that suits your needs.

While that may have been true as recently as five years ago, it’s really not the case today.
