Composer currently does not have the capability to edit Sys Ex messages. That is on the "to do" list.

2. Can I use Notation Composer to write and send Midi Controller messages high than 97. I need to be able to enter and send RPN ( CC 100 / CC101 ) and NRPN ( CC 98 / CC99 ) ?

Currently the highest controller is 97. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I need to be able to send both of the above in order to set up my midi keyboard before sending the music data.

While you can't edit those controllers in Composer, it doesn't "mess with" them either if they're already in a file. I don't know if the following workaround is viable (I don't have a keyboard to try it out with, I just use a small MIDI controller myself) but is it possible to save a blank (or nearly blank) sort of "template" file from your keyboard which would have the MIDI events you need for setting up the keyboard? You could then use that template file to start your work in Composer. Or not... as I said, I don't know if that's a viable suggestion for what you need to do or not.

It would also be very advantagous to be able to edit the midi data, however I cannot find an option in the software to do that. Is it possible?

You can edit a lot of MIDI parameters that affect the performance of the notes by using Graph Over Notes. You can then click the "Ctl" button with the red "?" on it to select which controller you want to edit. You can then use your mouse and the tools in that palette to draw the graph of the controller right on top of the score.


Hope something above is helpful!
