10.14
One of the distinctive features of Notion is its ability to deliver unlimited levels of playback dynamics within its loudest
and softest extremes . In the following procedure, you can specify “in-between” volume levels above or below a dynamic
marking .
1 . Select the text-based dynamic mark on your score you want to fine-tune .
» It appears orange in color to show it is selected .
2 . Double-click this mark .
» A temporary text box appears .
3 . Move the cursor right after the mark’s letter(s) then add a plus or minus sign, a decimal mark, then a fractional
amount less than 1 (up to two decimal places) as in .
NOTE: The whole number “1” is the next dynamic level (for example, ff instead of f) .
4 . To save your change, either click anywhere in the score area or press Enter .
» The next time you double-click this mark or enable View > Show > Show Hidden Items, you see the altered
dynamic level information in a light gray color .
Play One Level but Display Another
In cases where you want to display one dynamic mark (say, f) but you want Notion to playback a whole different level (say,
fff) you Enter a number larger than the whole number “1 .”
1 . Select the text-based dynamic mark on your score you want to fine-tune .
» It appears orange in color to show it is selected .
2 . Double-click this mark .
» A temporary text box appears .
3 . Move the cursor right after the mark’s letter(s) then add a plus or minus sign then a “1” for every level you want
playback to actually use . You can use decimals if they are needed .
4 . Example: To display an f on the screen and printouts, but have Notion play fff, you Enter:
– since you want playback to actually be 2 dynamic levels higher than the single forte .
5 . To save your change, either click anywhere in the score area or press Enter .
» Playback will use the altered level, not what is written, for playback . The next time you double-click this mark or
enable View > Show > Show Hidden Items, you see the altered dynamic level information in a light gray color .
