8 NTempo Tutorials: Since performing your compositions with full real-time control of tempo (the NTempo feature)
is such a fascinating and useful tool, we have provided, under Help, two score-based tutorials on how to use your
computer keyboard, or an external MIDI keyboard to perform all or part of any score. The advantage with these two
Help tutorials is that each is actually a score, so you can read them as you try out NTempo performance features in
real-time right away.
8 Demo Files are always helpful so you can see how nished compositions look, operate,
and sound in Notion.
Then there’s the Quick Reference Guide, included with Notion packaging—great to
use when getting started and for quick reference for keyboard shortcuts.
There’s Much More Online.
