Question

It would be very useful to be able to explode notes of a chord on one stave to different staves so that each stave has a solo line. When I compose for choir, for example, I can just input whole chords at one go, and then separate them in to different staves, instead of inputting each voice separately. Same goes for any part-writing.

Answer 2

I agree. This is a vital workflow issue with the way i work. The lack of this feature means I have to continue to use Finale. Being able to write on one staff and explode to multiple staves makes writing items like sax solis and tutti passages much less time consuming. Please consider making this a priority! Thanks...

Answer 3

Yes!!

Thiis is the feature I miss the most.

I believe this would be a blessing for most people writing for big bands and orchestras.

Best, Pelle

Answer 4

I'm a film composer who largely composes homorhythmically, like most film composers do (eg. John Williams, Eric Whitacre, Thomas Newmann). For this kind of work, it makes complete sense to conceive ideas on one staff and then explode them to different staves. This is a critically important feature, and could send PreSonus light years ahead of the Cubase/Dorico ecosystem. The lightweight nature of Notion is it's strength; it's blazingly fast. Please add this feature, and shake up the whole scoring world! It will be historic, no exaggeration.

Answer 5

Without this feature, I am unable to use Notion 6 for jazz band orchestration.  Also, Imploding would be good. I am going to have to still use Finale or Sibelius.
