Notion Music Notation Software: Ain't No Thing But A Notated String Arrangement

May 29, 2008
Notion Music Notation Software

Bill Holland really wrangles in the strings in this, the final installment of our walkthru of Notion. After sufficiently peppering his four-second-symphony with trills, col legno notation, and getting down with some Bartôk pizzicato, Mr. Holland delivers his final judgment on the notation software.

If brevity truly is the soul of wit, Bill's piece might be the most genius composition of the 21st century.

It's nice that you are highlighting this remarkable software. However, this is nice software and having someone who knows more about orchestration and performance practice would be much more helpful. For example, both the Bartok pizzicati and col legno didn't actually sound(it requires a separate kit), yet you didn't even notice.
