- What makes it different than Finale and Sibelius?
Beside the price? NOTION3 focuses on playback, performance and DAW compatibility… not like other notation engraving products.
NOTION3 truly bridges the gap between notation and an audio application, making it even easier to create music using your existing DAW. NOTION3 is closer to a sequencer driven by a notation-engine… then your everyday notation software.
Also, NOTION3 offers unique performance techniques that turns your computer into a musical instrument. NTempo and new features like vamps, repeats, and advanced score navigation enable you to really bring your scores to life in rehearsals and performances.
Simply put, NOTION3 provides superb notation capabilities while delivering unprecedented playback and performance capabilities.
