Great Tool! My DAW has limited notation ability and Sibelius is too much for what I want. Notion4 fills the gap perfectly.

This would be a great product, even if I couldn't use my virtual instruments inside of it because it has realistic sound sets that play the music the way it is written.

One downside note: I purchased the Miraslav Philharmonik plugin which is a 32bit program - it is a major hassel to get to work with 64bit Notion and once you get it working does not work well. close [-]
