11.2
In Notion you can add quite a number of staves in a very short period of time . There is no software-
imposed limit to the number of staves you can have in a score: you can add as many as you need .
Practically speaking, there is a limit set by the available memory in your computer .
Open Score Setup
With Notion you open Score Setup to quickly add a new instruments to a score . To open it you:
8
Click the
button in the toolbar, or

Go to the Menu bar and select Score > Setup, or

Score Setup.
Step One: Select a Sound Source
The first step is to select the source of instrument sounds you want . To do this, click one of the
options in the palette of buttons at the
bottom
right . You only see those options that are installed
on your computer . Notice as you click the various options, the contents of the upper palette of
buttons change . You are more than free to mix different sources in the same score .
8
Notion Instruments: This is the default when you first Enter Score Setup . These close-mic’d sounds are in stereo
with no effects (so you can completely control the reverb or other effects you add using the
Mixer
) . Once you click
this option, you can proceed to Step Two .

If the sound source is one of these specific VSTi libraries: Vienna Symphonic Library, East West Quantum Leap
(EWQL Symphonic Orchestra), or IK Multimedia’s Miroslav Philharmonik you have the option of using our no-
programming presets by clicking the Library’s name and proceeding to Step Two . If you have one of these libraries
installed and it is not listed, then add it to the VST Manager, and return to this procedure .
8
If you will use a VSTi library that is not named in the previous bullet – or you want to use one of the libraries named
in the previous bullet but with your own VSTi template – you complete a different procedure,
discussed in VST
Instruments and detailed in Add Multi-Channel Track, all in Chapter 9
.
