Hear what TopTenReviews.com has to say about Notion 6:

Notion 6 is by far the best music notation software for less than $200. It is easy to use once you get used to the interface, and the sampled instruments are the best we heard. We reviewed a few programs that cost less than Notion, but this software can compete with the best composition programs in any price range.

Notion 6.5 Release Notes

MusicXML updates

Write this

Select the tremolo and click on the note

Notion displays this

• Tremolo can now be clicked onto the first note or in between notes
• Stems now can go in either direction in a voice 2 tremolo

• Fingered tremolos that include chords now play back

• Fingered tremolos with 3-beams now play back, even if there is no sample present
• Bug fixed for the second note of a fingered tremolo changing duration if tremolo clicked onto second note (now does nothing)

  Solo/a2/a3/tutti expressions added to Rules Editor

Selection

• [Win] Ctrl+click now works like right click so context menu can be accessed even in the absence of a mouse (if for example using a Windows tablet and attached keyboard)
• [Win] Fix events not being able to be unselected on touchscreen
• [Win] If palette is hidden, then right click no longer cancels selection
• [Win] If palette is hidden, then right clicking on a note no longer auditions the note
