asked Aug 23, 2020 in Score Editor by Froschtoast (280 points)
It is great to have a score view in studio one now.  If we take it one step further and add an export or save as musicXML it would become truly useful for those of us who have to create scores in Sibelius, Finale, or Dorico.  I know that Notion is Presonus' notation program but for those of us doing notation for industry work or education that is just not an option at this point.  I love composing in Studio One and was really excited about the score editor.  But without being able to export to musicXML it is ultimately not useful for me.  Whatever specific notation editing I do in the score view is meaningless if I still have to import it to a notation program as a midi file.

Yep, scoring in Dorico but writing and sketching in S1 so XML would be wonderful.

I use Dorico for scoring and Notion sometimes as it integrates with Studio One now. Dorico is much better than Notion, but I'm eager to see if Notion becomes better, as I'm not a Steinberg fan and would like to use Notion/Studio One exclusively.

In the meantime it is essential to have xml, sorry midi is not a good enough translate.

Pretty please?

I use Finale for score editing.  It's much more sophisticated than Notion.  I really would rather not have one score editor for anything I do in PreSonus, and then Finale for everything else.  At least allow Studio One to export xml files, please!  MIDI files just don't translate that well.

And import MusicXML also, please.  You should be able to go back and forth.

Import and Export MusicXML, please. Is one of the few things that I need to make Studio One my DAW for all the tasks.

I know it's been a while, and I don't know exactly when the feature to 'send to studio one' got added in Notion, but that eliminates having to export from Notion and import into Studio One, which I believe is still not possible at this point anyway (I'm referring to musicXML). But my point is, at least with Studio One 5.3 and Notion 6.8, you do not have to export a midi file from Notion, just use the 'send to Studio One' feature.

I do use Notion as intermediary before finishing the score in Sibelius. However, even the 'open in Notion' feature in studio one doesn't translate well... The tuplets are all being messed up, and I spend hours repeating the same work I've already done in studio one... Please allow export in musicXML. Or at least make the transition to notion more accurate...

We need to be able to export as Music XML! Let's upgrade this.

I use Dorico for notation because it is more stable and has much more advanced features than Notion.  However, Studio One 5.5 ROCKS and is light years better than Cubase.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add the ability to import and export musicXML added to Studio One?

Here's another vote for implementing MusicXML into Studio One (Pro at least).  It would complement the score editing facilities very elegantly!

personnally, i wait the export xml file to go in Dorico.

if you want more about notion, you loose my money for studio one 5 Pro.

it's up to you

I FOUND A SOLUTION! (only if you have presonus Sphere subscription or own both studio one AND notion)

From you composition in studio one, use "send to notion" option.  Then in Notion just make sure all of the notes are correct and do minor edits as needed because some things might not translate well.

Then from Notion, export as a MusicXML file and import that into Dorico, Sibelius, or Finale!!! Its an extra step but it's easier than constantly switching between you DAW session and an empty score and transcribing by ear.

Studio one NEEDS to update to have MusicXML export capabilities though. We should not have to do this workaround. They're just trying to get more money from us broke composers.
