Notion Music Software: A Brief History<\/span><\/h3>\n

The company PreSonus started expanding its musical roots from deep within the heart of Cajun country in the state of Louisiana.\u00a0 They decided they wanted to take on a new project; developing their own music notation software.\u00a0 They noticed that current music editing programs lacked portability and ease of use.\u00a0 This proved to be a hindrance to the singer-songwriter and video game composer alike. PreSonus finally made it all happen in 2013.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The software called Notion was born.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notion focuses on serving film composers and radio musicians. It specializes in easy input and synchronized video-sound editing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember when I went to music school in 2014.\u00a0 We were all required to purchase an iPad and PreSonus\u2019s Notion program.\u00a0 In theory 1 I went on to become fluent in Notion music software.\u00a0 It was <\/span>so<\/span><\/i> easy to use and portable too!\u00a0 These features are still useful for me as a composer and an arranger. However,\u00a0 like most notation programs, PreSonus\u2019s Notion lacks a fast and easy way to import PDFs into an editable file.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where ScanScore comes in. Our accurate and simple tool scan images and PDFs into XML files for editing ease.\u00a0 ScanScore can be used with popular notation programs like Notion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having the newest version of a program helps to ensure that your software is working as efficiently as it can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Notion<\/span><\/a> is available for Windows and Mac computers as well as for tablets and phones. The Notion app and desktop programs sync across devices, so it\u2019s easy to switch over to portable use!<\/span><\/p>\n

ScanScore<\/span><\/a> is compatible with Windows and Mac products as well. There is also a ScanScore scanning app available on the Google Play Store and App Store. The app is free to download, but it requires a QR code scan in order to use it. The QR code comes from your desktop version of ScanScore.
