Question

By default, the Notion Mixer assigns only a single stereo channel to a grand Piano staff. As a result, chords in the left hand are much heavier than single lines in the right, for example, and mask other notes in the score. 

The solution is to send the bass and treble staves each to their own dedicated channels. Sibelius does this by default, as do several other notation packages I have used. While it's possible to emulate this using individual staves instead of a grand piano staff, having a piano staff configured this way by default would automatically make playback more realistic.

And should be quite easy to implement.

Answer 2

I really like this idea a lot. In fact, it seems a no-brainer to me, since this would allow the software to be much closer to the way a keyboardist actually plays the piano -- that is, the keyboardist will instinctively play certain lines and phrases softer or louder than others. Splitting the staves allows the composer/arranger much more flexibility with the written music, so as to more closely correspond to the way it will be played. Yes?

Answer 3

I currently have two separate tracks for treble and bass in piano parts. It is the only way I can get the right dynamics.
