I have a note that occurs a number of time in the song I've been working on. I know what the 8va is and have read the info on it. I have one question regarding it. On the line where you show the 8va, does it just go on as text? I understand the top part of that note means you play that cord in rolling manner (A pianist friend of mine says "like thunder rolling".) Is there a way of doing this with NWC? Thank you in advance.

Hi Dwight. That's a tremolo. It means playing repeatedly the notes at the speed of 1/32 (there are three lines on the stem) for a total duration of 1/4. Maurizio

th on the beat in some other staff.
There is a glyph in Boxmarks2, but it seems better suited to placing slashes between notes rather than on note stems.
It is just quarters and dotted halves. I've experience enough layering that I'm alright with it. I'm not clear yet where the notes (the B-flat octave) are in it. I see them showing in the music when I copy it but there are enough numbers, I'm not clear what each does. If I was doing the same thing for the same notes but it was a dotted half, would I need to copy a bunch more of these lines in? I believe it would be becuse they have to last a lot longer. If it was a quarter note for the D above this B-Flat, What would it look like? Once I see a couple examples and compare them, I'll catch on. Thank you Dwight
What does the loco mean in this as well? Thanks Dwight
It means to cancel the octave shift. In other words, play the ensuing notes as written, instead of an octave higher or lower. It usually follows a passage that is 8va, 8vb, or 15ma. I equate the expression with "local," but it's probably not a great association. Not to discourage you from asking questions (we're friendly users of the program), but sometimes you might need a quick answer. There's a really good website for theory that can resolve many questions: http://www.dolmetsch.com (http://www.dolmetsch.com)
Thank you David I also appreciate links to other information. No need to repeat everything if the answer is written and other sites offer other approaches to what it presented Thank you Dwight
In using this for a dotted half, I have something wrong as it takes more space than the other measures on my composer.

I am having trouble getting a dotted half to fill the measure correctly.
Can anyone make a suggestion on this one?
Thank you very much.

Add 2 more 32
nd notes. It helps to beam these in groups of 8.
Hi
It lasts the time of a dotted half but it only shows the quarter note at the beginning. I need a dotted half. What does it take to change that.
