Thank you Romantique TP for your reply, which is very helpful and informative. I use Notion for finished scoring. As a hobbyist, I find it sufficient. As long as the score editor in Elements/Artist allows me to do my basic editing (copy/pasting instruments, changing velocities, volumes etc) it should also suffice.
I can’t seem to find anything like an Event List in AI, which both Sonar and Reaper have. I like to enter CC events that way. But I can certainly adapt, if I need to do it differently, so long as the workflow is good.
I will be checking out Elements soon, I just got my access code. It’s really cool that you don’t have to install it, just enter the access code. Very easy!
