Keyboard Shortcut Sets
Most beginning users point-and-click with the mouse to activate and control features . This is a comfortable way to begin
becoming familiar with Notion operations .
As a quicker alternative to mouse clicks alone, you can press keys on your keyboard to activate or adjust Notion features
(keyboard shortcuts) . Although most users mix mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts, the more keyboard shortcuts you
use, the less time it takes to Enter and edit scores . There are also keyboard shortcuts you can use to play or perform a
score .
There are two sets of shortcuts that you can choose to use in Preferences .
8 English (U .S .) set (uses letters for durations, e .g ., “E” for eighth note and mouse to define pitch) .
8 International set (uses numbers for durations 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 for 32nd note to whole note) .
There are three sets of numberpads:
8 Notion (uses numbers to add intervals to pitches)
8 Finale (adds Finale number-pad durations)
8 Sibelius (adds Sibelius number-pad durations)
Tip: In the Menu bar, under the Help heading, you can click to open a printable Shortcuts guide as a handy reference to
the many keyboard shortcuts available with Notion .
