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 .

Demo Files are always helpful so you can see how finished compositions look, operate,
and sound in Notion .
Then there’s the Quick Reference Guide—great to use when getting started and for quick reference for keyboard
shortcuts .
There’s Much More Help Online.

Automatic Software Updates
You can set Notion to check and download software updates either automatically or manually:
To set up how you will update Notion software:
1 . Go to the Menu bar and select Windows: File > Preferences; Mac: Notion > Preferences .
» A Preferences dialog box opens .
2 . In the General Tab, look at the Check for updates checkbox at the bottom .
>
For automatic updates, ensure this checkbox is selected .

For manual updates, clear this checkbox . Then, when you are connected to the Internet, go to the Menu bar and
select Windows: Help > Check for Updates; Mac: Notion > Check for Updates . The software makes a behind-the-
scenes check with our site to see if an update is available . If so, Notion asks your permission before it downloads
and installs the latest software . Otherwise, it displays an information box letting you know you already have the
latest software installed (click OK to close the information box) .
3 . To save any changes, click OK .
