Version 1.75 Discussion / Re: labeling "right hand" and "left hand" simply as "piano"
Thanks for all your comments...I really appreciate it.

I downloaded NWC2 and have found that there are many improvement to my liking.  Lawrie, I also downloaded one or two of your fonts to help me with the 8va.  But after days of trying to get it right, I still can't get the 8va and dashed lines to work.  One huge problem with NWC is that you can't insert text wherever you want.  At least not horizontally.  You can line it up on the staff vertically as they give you placement numbers like 5, 6, 7, etc.  But there is no way to get text horizontally where it is needed.  Unless I'm missing something major.  Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for all your help.  The font stuff went WAY WAY over my head so I may just print out the score and do the dashed lines by hand.  Also, the problems with randomly bolded lines aren't only with my PDF creator, they're also with my print preview, so I don't think its the creator's fault.  I also don't have NWC 2, so I can't do that thing with the labeling staffs.  I will probably do that manually, too. 

I am a noob.  But thanks anyway!

Version 1.75 Discussion / labeling "right hand" and "left hand" simply as "piano"
the title is essentially my question:  i want it to print so that both of those parts share one name as "piano" rather than them both being labeled separately.


i also have another question:  in my "print preview," and even when i converted it to PDF, some of the lines, meaning bar lines and lines of staff were sometimes bold.  it looks very awkward.  does this happen to anyone else?

another question:  i am writing a bit of my piece an octave lower than i want played to reduce a lot of ledger lines.  i know i can add the 8va----- in text, but the section in which im doing this is pretty long and when i keep on adding text of "- - - - - - - - - - " to show that the section is still going, its not always a continuous line and sometimes the dashes even combine to make a straight line.  has anyone ever found a way to solve this?

thanks in advance, i appreciate your help.
