Anything else to be on the alert for? I need to clear this up before converting ThreeEight.html to a user tool.
TIA

General Discussion / Re: Beaming compound-time
In the second 6/8 measure of your example (and equivalent places), the three 8th notes at the beginning of the measure need to be beamed together. Can your tool be made to do that?
104
General Discussion / Re: Beaming compound-time
A half-note and a quarter-note (minim & crochet) works great in 3/4, but not in 6/8. What seemed to be needed was a way to break down that half into a dotted quarter tied to an eighth. I still need to convert my html tool to a user tool, but if I missed something, please let me know now. TIA
Attached is my test file, before and after.
ThreeEight.html It is not necessary to provide any parm count or parm values.
Happy New Year, everyone.

General Discussion / Re: Beaming compound-time
I manually make a Noteworthy file comprising a minim then a crotchet, in a 6:8 time signature. This should strictly be shown as a dotted crotchet tied to a following quaver at the same pitch, then the crotchet, but I do it wrongly by hand. Then I export it as a MIDI file. NOTE THAT this will comprise only the time signature and note lengths and pitches. No direct beaming information will be contained in the MIDI file.
When I import the MIDI file again, using 'detect compound time' where appropriate, Noteworthy still shows it as a minim plus a crotchet. This is fundamentally wrong.
Obviously I can edit the file and correct it by hand, but then I could have written the music score with a quill if I had wanted; doing it automatically is why I bought Noteworthy.
Importing other files from other sources demonstrates the same problem.
Could you attach a short file (or appropriate NWCTXT) to a forum post that messes up like you described. Please explain what you do/did to it and where the problem occurs. If there are other note-length combinations the NWC doesn't handle properly, please include them in that test file. By the way, does it beam a number of quavers correctly?
I can take a shot at it along with others who have replied, but it helps to have real data with which to test.

General Discussion / Re: Is the NWC Viewer/Player available as a webpage
Son of the Puszta
My problem is that I can't get all the notes to display when the measure is close to the right edge. Is there any trick to force NWC or NWV to advance the screen before getting to the last measure or advancing in the middle? Is it possible to convert it to another notation system that has this problem under control? TIA
Edit: problem first popped up in bar 21.

General Discussion / Re: Text under music
NWC does not have the ability to change the font for different verses of a song. You could insert a 2nd verse as text, however. Once you select the font, size, and bold/italic, those will be the default for later text. Leave a verse (or every other verse) blank to have room for your inserted text. Edited: Insert text for each measure after the bar line--you will need to experiment to get each word/syllable to line up.
Bienvenue sur les Forums!
NWC n'a pas la possibilité de changer la police des différents couplets d'une chanson. Vous pouvez cependant insérer un deuxième verset sous forme de texte. Une fois que vous avez sélectionné la police, la taille et le gras / italique, ceux-ci seront les valeurs par défaut pour le texte ultérieur. Laissez un verset (ou tous les autres versets) vide pour avoir de la place pour votre texte inséré.
Modifié: insérez du texte pour chaque mesure après la barre de mesure - vous devrez expérimenter pour aligner chaque mot / syllabe.

General Discussion / Re: Is the NWC Viewer/Player available as a webpage
Then I tried the top pick: https://www.flashbackrecorder.com/express
This is the one that I am going to stick with. I will have to edit in my video editing software, which is fine. The mouse can be highlighted in various colours, and it follows all the windows changes I make with no issue. And the express version is free.

I've found the Play button on Scriptorium listings helpful, but was looking for something that would show the score being played w/o installing the Viewer.

- Resting Staff takes a staff you have copied from another part and turns them into whole measure rests.
- Multi Measure Rests converts a string of whole measure rests into an MMR or backs it out.
The MMR tool also has the options of hiding the rests and boundary collapse.

Looking forward, when will 100000 be? Assuming roughly similar traffic (i.e., NWC is not going viral), some 9 times 24 = 216 years in the future, i.e., by year 2236, give or take a few (decades? centuries?).

General Discussion / Re: tempo track examples
This will definitely save time. I've been putting a lot of duplicate information in all the staves. How important is it for this tempo stave to be just one line? It it's going to be invisible, and layered, does it matter?
You might want to install my Multi Measure Rest script from wjporter.com/nwc on the tempo track and select "Layer Hide". The MMRs from the tempo track won't appear and won't interfere when an instrument has an MMR.

However, the text either contained an empty box or three characters with the hex codes of ef 80 a6. The next line (a natural below the turn) contained hex: ef 81 a5 from StaffCueSymbols. Is this something I need to test for or just change it when it happens?
Once the Text turn symbol is found, it should be straightforward to identify the turned note, the one before, the one after, and any accidentals to implement Rick's 2nd suggestion in post number 7.
TIA

General Discussion / Re: Object for turns
My apology for using an example from something other than what I was working on. It had a note being tied into a turn and your example did an excellent job of using and implementing that. However, without that leading tie-in I am getting stumpped as to how to implement this. How can I create an 8th note B natural which will display only and be beamed to the previous G? My test so far is after the red bar line, all else is reference and your example.
TIA

General Discussion / Re: Object for turns
Some of these may overlap, but I think these things would be needed by any programmer learning a new language.
- What are the boiler plate items, things that must be in any nwc object?
- Debugging tools: What can be used to display text and/or variables while working on it?
- Communicating script failure with nwc and the user.
- What part of the program receives control when it starts (probably included in 1.)?
- How to add/modify things to be displayed?
- How to add/modify what is played?
- What must be included in the name of the script?
Thank you for looking at it.

General Discussion / Re: Feature request: adding chord notes quickly by selecting name of the chord
(I am assuming that a user tool can determine the currently specified duration when it is run.)
This is my attempt as building a chord: guitar.htm. In the same folder doOctave.js changes a note to an octave chord.
I assume duration means half note, sixteenth note, etc., not that a note might play for 0.125 seconds.
