    DUH!! 
    I was looking at Presonus Progression 2 (which has notation): https://shop.presonus.com/products/cinco-de-mayo/Progression-2 for $5.
     
    Lesson learnt.....Never question the Bapu, he is always right.

    Good prices.
     
    You have to wonder though, Presonus buys up a product developer and a few months later is having a fire sale (prices undercutting the distributors) on a download of their newly acquired products. In spite of protestations that development and support will continue, will there ever be a Notion5? Or do they just plan to cash out?
     
    Given the competition, and the fact that these products are mature, reportedly relatively intuitive to use, and well reviewed, buying the current offering is sort of a no-brainer. If you want good looking output, and have the patience, you can get Lilypond. I wonder how the MusicXML export from Notion is. Better than Sonar no doubt. 
     
    By the way. I am assuming the download file (NotionBundledInstaller.exe) is just a stub, and that you will need to run it with an internet connection open to actually get the sample library. Can anyone confirm that?

    in on this very quickly. although i have Finale PrintMusic, Notion looks so much more fully featured. And the quality of samples is reportedly excellent

    I bought Notion for the exact same price in December, which I think was before Presonus took over.
     
    [EDIT: Looks like it was actually after Presonus]
     
    And I just bought Progression for $5 so I can put it on my laptop (and maybe my tablet) without wasting an install of Notion.

     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    Does Progression 2 do barre chord symbols?   You know the little arc that shows 1 finger on multiple strings?

    I don't see the line.  It just appears as standard tab....but I don't know for sure.  I just started using
    it and checked it and it shows the standard bar chord formation but no line...

    I picked up notion around thanksgiving during the sale. It's really useful and saves me a lot of time when I'm writing any orchestral stuff. Also I don't think it's being continued. The developers were on the message board talking about an update coming soon. I'm thinking it's going to be notion 5

    I have Notion 4 and it doesn't do that.  That's why I can't use it for teaching.  I want my chord diagrams to be as descriptive as possible for young students.

    What's the difference between Notion 4 and Progression 2?
     
    I started up the $5 Progression and thought I'd hit the notion button by mistake. They obviously have the same genetic material.

    but after how they treated the original makers of the software , can't support them or the people who bought em.... oh well yama / steiny took em to work, so I'd rather support them when something turns up. certain companies seem to be bought for asset stripping OR to try to blatantly make gain from IP's etc.

    I just ordered and received Guitar Pro 6.  One thing that's really cool is that you can find GP format files on places like 911TABS for free and you end up with a professional looking TAB instead of a word processor nightmare.

    Well I need to get work done and IMO there is nothing else as powerful than Sibelius.  I couldn't live without it.

    So is that a full version?
     
    The pricing is confusing. Progression 3 is $20.15, but upgrade from 1 or 2 is $25.
