FAQs
“Notation Express/XL” refers both to Notation Express and Notation Express XL.
What do I need to use Notation Express?
You need the 15-key Stream Deck console OR the Stream Deck Mobile app on iOS or Android from Elgato (purchased separately), and Sibelius, Dorico, or Musescore. The Stream Deck console and Stream Deck Mobile are not included with your purchase of Notation Express.
What do I need to use Notation Express XL?
You need the 32-key Stream Deck XL console from Elgato (purchased separately), and either Sibelius or Dorico. The Stream Deck XL console is not included with your purchase of Notation Express.
Will Notation Express XL work on the Stream Deck 15-key console or the Stream Deck Mobile app for iOS?
No. You need the 32-key Stream Deck XL console to use Notation Express XL.
Is there a Notation Express XL configuration for Musescore?
Not yet!
Can I use Notation Express and Notation Express XL simultaneously?
Yes. Notation Express and Notation Express XL for Sibelius share the same set of custom shortcuts for Sibelius, and the same is true for Notation Express and Notation Express XL for Dorico. These shortcut profiles are installed on your computer when you install Notation Express or Notation Express XL.
If you are fortunate enough to have both a Stream Deck and a Stream Deck XL, or even the Stream Deck Mobile app on your iPhone or iPad and a Stream Deck XL, it is possible to use both products simultaneously to supercharge your workflow even more.
I’ve already purchased Notation Express and would like to purchase Notation Express XL (or vice versa). Can I get a discount that reflects the bundle price?
Contact us by sending a message through the contact form at the bottom of this page, and we will help you. Include the e-mail address you used for your original purchase. Please be patient as this must be generated manually through our ordering system. We will not be able to help via phone. If you haven’t yet purchased either product, purchase the bundle.
What version of Sibelius/Dorico/Musescore will Notation Express/XL work with?
Notation Express/XL is built for the latest version of Sibelius Ultimate (2020.6) and the latest version of Dorico Pro 3.5. A version for Dorico Pro 3 (3.1.10) is also included, but will no longer be updated. Notation Express for Musescore is built for Musescore 3.4.2 or later. Use with earlier versions of Sibelius, Dorico, or Musescore, or the “lite” versions such as Sibelius First or the intermediate version of Sibelius, or with Dorico SE or Dorico Elements, is not recommended nor supported.
Does Notation Express/XL work with Mac and PC? What is the minimum operating system required?
Yes. Be sure to purchase the correct version for your operating system. Mac requires macOS 10.13 or later, Windows requires Windows 10 64-bit or later.
Are there different versions of Notation Express for the Stream Deck console and the Stream Deck Mobile app for iOS?
No. The same Notation Express profile that will work on the Stream Deck console for Sibelius, Dorico, or Musescore will work on the Stream Deck Mobile app for iOS.
Do I need to purchase the Sibelius, Dorico, and Musescore versions separately?
Yes. Notation Express/XL for Sibelius, Notation Express/XL for Dorico, and Notation Express for Musescore are separate products and must be purchased separately.
What languages does Notation Express/XL work with?
Notation Express/XL has only been tested on English language setups. If you work on a computer with a different language, you may be able to modify the shortcuts in the profile on your own if they don’t work in your localization, but any modifications will not be officially supported.
However, we do have a few unofficial versions of Notation Express, all for Dorico 3 and 3.5 only. These versions are for Windows in German, and Mac in French. After you purchase Notation Express, if you wish to use these versions, please contact us to obtain them.
If you purchase Notation Express and wish to localize it in a different language other than English, you may do so for your own use. Tim Pietzcker has created a video to help you localize it. Be aware that this is provided for information only and any localizations will not be supported.
License
Can I use Notation Express on more than one computer?
Yes! A purchase entitles one person (you) to use it on one computer at a time, on as many computers that you personally use. Unless you have extra limbs, that should suffice nicely.
Can I use Notation Express on both the Stream Deck console and the iOS app?
Yes! Your purchase entitles you to use Notation Express on both devices. You must purchase the Stream Deck console and subscribe to the Stream Deck Mobile app separately.
Can my buddy who shares my computer use Notation Express?
No! Well, there’s no way to technically prevent it. But please ask your buddy to purchase his own copy.
My buddy wants to use my copy of Notation Express. Can I send it to him?
No! He should purchase his own copy. Let’s all be buddies!
Can I change the default Notation Express profile — move icons around, add my own shortcuts, actions, etc.?
Yes! That’s the beauty of it — it’s totally customizable for your own use. You can always re-import the default Notation Express profile again.
So, once I do that, can I send that profile to my buddy?
No! Please don’t share any profile derived from the Notation Express profile, or any shortcut/key command preference file derived from the one included with Notation Express, unless your buddy has already purchased Notation Express, too — then it’s OK.
I have Notation Express for Sibelius/Dorico/Musescore already. Can I get Notation Express for Sibelius/Dorico/Musescore too?
Notation Express for Sibelius, Notation Express for Dorico, and Notation Express for Musescore work very similarly in many respects, but “under-the-hood” they are quite different products (just like Sibelius, Dorico, and Musecore are different products) and must be purchased separately.
