What’s new compared to Notion iOS v2?
As well as the above 5 big things, there’s a long list of smaller things too! Every single change can be found in the App Store Notion page, but the list includes the most frequently requested features, such as: four voices per staff (multi-voice is via free registration); keyboard shortcuts; line breaks in text boxes; pen vs finger recognition when handwriting (handwriting is via Feature Bundle in-app purchase); handwriting on phones not just tablets; palette on the left or right hand sides of the screen rather than the bottom; dark mode; paste reflow; add element (e.g. dynamic) to all staves in a selection; and much more…
How do I get the new version?
If you have automatic updates set on your device, then nothing - Notion will have updated as usual. If you manually update your apps, then you can update at any time now version 3 has been released. (Note you cannot roll back to a previous version once installed)
Should I backup my scores before updating?
Notion Mobile 3.0 is fully compatible with previous versions, but we of course would always recommend making a copy of your files and putting it somewhere safe
How do I open my previous files in the new app?
You will see a new start page from where you can tap the file browser icon to find your recent Notion files, whether stored locally on your device, or in your preferred cloud provider
Do I need to redownload the sounds?Yes, Notion Mobile 3 has a different organization structure and playback engine, so you will need to download sounds. If no sounds are downloaded, then Notion will fall back to the Steinway piano sound as before
