How do I inject a .wav or .mp3 file into notion and then score it? I have seen posts about using "Attach File" in Notion 4, but in Notion 6 no such Tool menu option exists. To be specific, I am making an ambient composition for a computer game. I need to play a repeating (looping) wind track, and I need to play occasional ambient noises.

By the way, the help,pdf file also refers to using "Notion Instruments / Special Staves / Basic Staff" and "Tools / Attach Audio File", but NEITHER of those things exist in Notion 6. I just bought Notion, and between this documentation failure and Notion crashing last night a losing my beautiful work (which I will NEVER EVER reproduce) I'm starting to feel a little sour about this whole thing.

Sorry to hear that you lost your work. That's never fun.

Attach audio is under the SCORE menu.

The Basic staves have their own tab now in Score Setup. Click the "Basic" tab, and select a Treble Clef staff to add a new basic staff to your score. The audio can then be attached to that. It has to be a .wav file.

If you find errors in documentation, I'd suggest that you post a support ticket. The development team will fix the errors in an upcoming maintenance update. They are very dedicated!

Thanks for this...

I'm doing the same thing -- integrating Studio One and Notion for the 1st time today.
Sweet combo!

However, I initially exported an audio Mixdown from Studio One... sent a bad mix, fixed it. And the 2nd one didn't play. (In hindsight, perhaps because of a name change to the file. Just a guess.)

So, I tried the other way: SCORE>Attach Audio.
This did not auto-create a new "Mixdown" staff like the Studio One export did.
However, the text string was manipulatable. Apparently, audio could be brought into any measure in the arrangement. Very cool.
In my case, I just deleted (well, "cut", as that was the option) the original non-audible "audio" file and moved the 2nd one into its place on the original Audio Track at the top. Works fine!
