Notion Mobile v3 took mobile music creation to the next level with support for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Now v3.2 adds many enhancements and fixes, as well as being available in a brand new app store, the Samsung Galaxy Store, for the very first time.
Notion Mobile is free, and all add-ons are included in a Studio One membership or available through the Feature Bundle in-app purchase. Download from your preferred App Store now

3. Chord, tablature and lead sheet improvements It is now even easier to create leadsheets and tab with improvements in 3.2
Add slides and gliss lines to grace notes The most frequently added feature for writing for guitar you can now add slides both between and to/from grace notes
More types of harmonics Additional common harmonic types (pinch, tap and harp) are now available to enter into the score
Fill with rhythm slash You can now make a selection and automatically fill with rhythm slashes. You can still convert existing individual notes into rhythmic slashes as before, but with this new tool a whole range of empty measures can be filled with rhythmic slashes with one tap by default the slash takes the common denominator of the time signature for its duration.
Paste lyrics from external source You can now paste lyrics text that has been copied from another application (i.e. from the system clipboard). Use the lyrics tool to select the first note, then just paste! If there are hyphens or underscores then Notion will treat these for syllables and melisma respectively.
Select text in another application and copy. Go back to Notion and use the Lyrics tool to click under the note you want to paste from. Then long press (or right click) and select Paste', or use the shortcut Ctrl V (or Cmd V)
4. Notation improvements Mid-staff Instrument Change You can now change instrument mid-staff with Notion Mobile and even have different instrument sounds in each voice. Though this has long been possible with Notion 6 desktop, this is the first time this feature has been available for Notion Mobile.
This is for situations where a single player needs to swap instruments within the same piece of music, for example: a flautist changing to piccolo; a clarinettist switching between A' and Bb' instruments; a pianist changing to celesta. In musical theatre, woodwind players can swap between many instruments in a single song from saxophone to flute to clarinet and back again!
If the change involves a transposing instrument (such as cor anglais) then a change of key signature is automatically added:
In the Tools Grid select the new Instrument Change icon, or use the shortcut Shift I:
Then tap wherever in the score you wish to change the instrument.
Select the instrument, and optionally, which voice you want to change
Add multiple fingering numbers to chords
You can now stack multiple fingerings vertically for chords, as well as the ability to add finger substitutions (to change finger during a note)
Select the finger number you want from the Fingering palette in the Tools Grid:
Then tap it onto the note you wish to apply to it. To enter a finger substitution, hold Shift' as you enter the number.
If you've dragged any fingerings out of line, you can straighten them up by selecting a passage, then go to the context menu>Tools>Align Fingerings
Entering tuplets with different durations It's now much easier to create tuplets that contain different durations, both in touch, and in step time entry. Instead of having to create the base tuplet first (and then change the existing durations), you can now add the durations as they come. In this example, you select and enter the first triplet quarter note, then simply select and enter the triplet eighth notes. Notion will calculate and position them together.
5. Transpose Input It is now possible to elect whether your attached MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI, or onscreen instrument, transposes automatically on input. While this feature has long been possible in Notion 6 desktop, this is brand new to Notion Mobile, and allows a user to easily input already transposed music into Notion ( as is ). In the Application Menu, go to Record Options then Transpose Input'
