Please forgive my ignorance. What is notion?

I tried to use it with sibelius but gave up on getting it to work properly. I still dream of the day that something like that is integrated into sonar to replace the current staff view.

Can I do all the midi and automation in Sonar, send midi to Reason and get multi channel audio back to Sonar for processing? Basically treat Reason as a multitimbre synth plugin? 

That's basically how I used it. MIDI went from Pro Tools to Reaper and the audio from Reaper to Pro Tools.

Music notation software. It's quite good.

I tried using rewire with notation software...both Sibelius and Notion4.  I had various levels of success with each.  I work with picture and everyone in my work chain is setting things 48K.  Last I tried Notion I had to use 44.1.  Little things like that make Rewire, for me, more trouble than its worth. 
 
Shuttling back and forth between notation and DAWs requires way more labor than it should.  (We are dealing with computers).
 
Perhaps if you did an article on Rewire I might pick up a trick or two that would make a difference.
 
Thanks!

I use it for Notion...

I used to use Notion, but upgraded to Sibileus 7.5. How does rewire help with notation applications? Easier transfer of MIDI files?

So can I do this?  (I've tried but can't get it to work)
 
Rewire Notion to Send midi into Sonar.  For example:  I compose for a string Orchestra with Notion, set it up so that the midi out of Notion (say Violins 1) is inputted into a midi track in Sonar that triggers my corresponding Cinematic String's Kontact Violin 1 Patch.  It would be really cool 'cause I could record key switching and CC midi data on the Sonar track and my notation would look right.  Best of both worlds.
 
I've tried with LoopBe Midi patching to no avail.
 
Thanks!!!!     

I used rewire for years with Melodyne.  Since I moved to Editor 2 I use the plugin version.

Tried rewire today. Is it possible to send MIDI from reaper to Sonar via Rewire?
