General Discussion / Opening bar in single Staff
Recently upgraded to NWC 2.5.3 from NWC 2.1, I know that standard notation is not to place an initial bar when using single staff. But I prefer to see it. In previous versions it was possible by creating an empty second staff and allowing to be layered by the first one. With NWC 2.5.3 it is possible to add the initial bar to this single staff but when printing I can see it in the first line only. The same if I use a second staff as mentioned. I couldn’t find about this neither in Staff Properties nor in the User’s Guide, so please help me.

General Discussion / On Special Endings (again, sorry)
I have learnt in this Forum how to put a vertical bar at the end of a Special Ending (SE). Also how to make it encompasses more than a single measure using particulars fonts or by using a second staff.
As I can see, these are mere workarounds and the second one works visually and to print, what is useful and partially solve the issue, but not natural to the user.
Also, those has no effect on the playback if you want listen the song properly (I prefer use only Master Repeats).
Being repetitions very frequent in written music, wonder if NWC has plans to create true functional symbols for SE repetition that is, extend the line on all bars involved, properly terminated and even with the possibility of changing its placement above the staff. And, of course, correct playback.
Discussions on Special Endings are not new and really hoped NWC2 would include that feature. Related with that, I also would ask for a line above measures that should be played in Octave.
Perhaps in a next release?
Many thanks

General Discussion / Constricted measures
First of all, congratulations for this music editing program. I have tried with others but NWC is unsurpassed in terms of ease of use. However, I do a query that I think it was discussed before but can't find it in the Forum.
I mean how to compress the visual length of bars or measures so the score so to use less paper when printing the score.
"Notes > Extra Spacing" adds more space between notes, but is there any way to reduce the space between them?. In this Option there are no negative numbers. Ideally there should be an option to distance the notes (or other related symbols) in a certain proportion from the standard throughout the score and/or at least within a measure.
Is it possible to achieve this?
If not, I suggest considering it in a future release of the NWC.
Many thanks in advance.
