Notion works in Linux

michael diemer · 11-30-2022, 03:35 PM

I decided to see if Notion, which is a notation editor like Finale, Dorico etc, would work on Linux. It does, which means I no longer have to go back and forth from Linux to Windows to deal with changes I make to a projects. I'm using the latest Wine Staging, just updated today, on Mint 21. It installed with wine windows loader with no problem. I put in the product key with my email to authorize, and although that appeared not to work, I can in fact open a project, make changes, and save it, so apparently I'm good to go. Amazing.

Amazing. Will try it out.
Have you tried if VST instruments work as well?
Thank you for reporting this.

I haven't tried vsti yet. When it opens, I get a message saying that the Aria player failed to load. I'll try to fix that at some point. Right now I'm just glad I can update my scores after I revise a project in Reaper, without having to shut down and open up Windows 7.

Well, today when I open it the authorization screen pops up again. Looking back, I don't think I dud succeed in authorizing yesterday, I think I hit demo mode after a few tries. but that seems to be the only glitch. I'm on the Presonus forum, so I'll see if they can help.

I'm still surprised that Notion is still at version 6 after more than 6 years.

I'm still using version 5. I tried to submit a support to ticket to Presonus, but the little circle just kept spinning. I gave up after 20 minutes or so. So the ticket never went through.
