Notion 6.4’s New Features
Notion 6.4 is here, adding integration with the just-released Studio One 4, and a bevy of other new features! This is a free update for Notion 6 owners that can be obtained by clicking “Check for Updates” within Notion.

Enhanced integration with Studio One v4

With Studio One’s new Chord Track & Key Signature, the integration with Notion has become more powerful than ever. See all the details in the updated User Guide here.

Receive Chords from Studio One’s new Chord Track

Quickly make a lead-sheet, complete with Studio One’s new chords, all with the right formatting and transpositions!

Receive Studio One’s new key signature—This means imported note data can now be “spelt” properly, with the correct enharmonic.

Receive any customised markers from Studio One’s marker track, and display as Rehearsal Marks

Paste enhancements

You can now make a selection first to paste and replace the contents (this is just an option – you can paste as normal at the cursor for the same result)
New shortcut for Paste Insert: [Win] Ctrl+Shift+V or [macOS] Cmd+Shift+V
Paste Insert also added to right click context menu (in addition to Edit>Paste Insert)
The whole measure is now not replaced/overwritten when pasting a partial measure.
Paste no longer causes rhythmic changes, when pasting multiple times between different voices or between a grand staff
Paste now ignores ties in other voices on a grand staff
New text box behaviour

New checkbox “Link to metadata” in Score>Add Title/Header/Footer. This unlinks a new text box from others of the same style meaning you can create multiples of e.g. copyright notices. This is useful for e.g. creating long copyright notices (such as those required for SMP Press)
