Notion Music has announced the release of Notion 4.0 notation software. They tell us that it's a groundbreaking upgrade that features an even more intuitive interface, better compatibility between desktop and iPad, and real audio samples performed by The London Symphony Orchestra.
Notion Music's President/CEO Jim Boitnott, told Sonic State, "We are excited to release the newest version of Notion, this is our best version yet. Notion now has more features, is 64-bit compatible and is even more incredibly stable. And, of course, it works great with our very successful Notion for iPad app."
Here's some more details directly from Notion Music:
For the first time with any notation software, users have the ability to build, edit, playback and share files seamlessly between their desktop computer and iPad. Musicians can begin a composition on their desktop, make on-the-go edits via iPad, and then bring the project back to the desktop for final editing. With Notion 4.0 musicians have the freedom to work where and when they want. Built upon the foundation of the award-winning Notion3, the updated Notion 4.0 continues to redefine the capabilities and benefits of notation software.

Recorded at top studios throughout the world, these amazingly pristine samples include drums, guitars, basses, orchestral samples performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, and much more.
