Is it at all possible to make midis with NWC in stereo format? Thanks for your help in advance. Please send via email.

For each staff, you can specify in Midi tab of Staff Properties... (F2, or off the right mouse button, or under the Staff menu) the Stereo pan of the staff. 0 is left. 127 is right. 64 is centre.
I often pan out my parts. It gives the pieces a much more spatial feel.

If your sound card supports stereo, then it is not a problem. You can set the pan position for a steff in the MIDI staff properties. Many lesser expensive cards only support left, center, and right side imaging, if they support it at all, so keep this in mind.
I do have a card that currently upport only left, center and right positions
for midi settings. but there is a way to 'pan' the voice
exactly where you want to : just duplicate the wanted voice
(NOT on the same channel) and adjust the midi VOLUME (not
velocity, as velocity is used for p, pp, fff stuff).
for example for 4 voices, you will set (in SATB choir)
S at 0 (left) position,
A at 0 (left) position and duplicated A on 63 (middle) with a half-volume settings
T at 127 (right) and duplicated T on 63 (middle) with a half-volume settings
B at 127 (right) position.
Or place it otherwise, now you got the idea. (I often add solo voices at 63 (middle) just between other voices.
Hope this helps !
