By default, you view the notes you Enter into Notion scores as they would appear coming from a
publisher . This includes having transposing instruments (such as the Bb trumpet) appear in transposed
notation . If you want, you have the option of displaying all instruments at concert pitch .
Viewing all instruments in the same tuning can be a help to beginning composers and
can be an aid to fine-tuning problem areas in orchestration even for more experienced
orchestrators . There are two major advantages this feature provides:

Even if you view all instruments in concert tunings in the score area, when you view (or
) a part in
Score >
Dynamic Parts
, transposing instruments will automatically be in standard transposed keys .
8
When you select Transposed, the entire score immediately displays transposed notation for all transposing
instruments . Thus, you can switch back and forth between standard and all-concert tunings just by clicking
a menu item .
To enable/disable automatic transposing, go to the Menu bar and click View . Either
Transposed, Concert Tuning, or Concert Pitch will have a checkmark .
In the View menu options (Mac).

To keep the default setting (standard notation), ensure View > Transposed has the checkmark .

To display transposing instruments in the same key as other “C” instruments (in their current octave), click View >
Concert Tuning so it receives the checkmark .

To display transposing instruments in the same key as other “C” instruments
and
in the actual octave (a piccolo, for
example, is written an octave lower than actual pitch), then click View > Concert Pitch so it receives the checkmark .
