NWC & Sound fonts without sound card

Hi!
I got the Sonar 9.0 and a bunch of Sf's in my HD. This way I can load my MIDI songs with them ( Sfs ). My question is:
Is there a way to compose a Staff and listen to at same time using SF's? Because the NWC, in my opinion, is very much better to use when youre composing than SONAR .  I can listen to the sonds that are insert in my built-in sound card but don't know how to change it to SF while working.
Thaks.

NWC 2 (Public Preview) can be set to play the notes as you enter them.  It looks as if that will only give you the sound of a piano, but I could be wrong.

If I understand what you want to do you need to install a virtual midi cable.  This way you can send midi information from any staff in Noteworthy to any software instrument you have running (and presumable vice-versa)

For computers older than XP try Hubi's loopback device.
For XP there is the midiox yoke (crashed my computer seriously)
or Maple virtual midi cable.

Make sure you backup and set system restore points before you load them.
