General Discussion / Lyric positioning after a new boundary
Why the refrain lyrics go so high?
How can I have them in the first line position instead?

User Tools / Re: Repeated Measures
- if the tool is in the standard directory (usually your suggested path) the calling line can be simply Code: [Select · Download]
wscript Scripts\repMeas.js <PROMPT:Tot Times?=#>
- Boxmark2 as User 1 can seamlessly be replaced by one of the most recent
fonts created by Lawrie: MusikDingsSans.ttf or MusikDingsSerif.ttf
- I usually use the same size of Staff Metrics for User 1 in the whole score. Warren, you can add your scaling factor 1.375 to that specific text only.

The following return codes are recognized:
- 0 Text in STDOUT is processed and anything found in STDERR is presented as a warning to the user
- 1 Anything found in STDERR is shown to the user, and nothing else is done
- 99 Anything found in STDOUT is shown to the user, and nothing else is done

There is also the stdout tab.
The only problem is that, as far as I know, it's visible only if there is something in the stderr.

Object Plugins / Re: MarkupPage.rg
After a full immersion in the meanders of the NWC plugins with the help of Mike, I felt brave enough to delve into his opera.
I just did for MarkupPage.rg more or less (much "less" than "more"

Here is what I was able to discover. Part of it are Rick's words.
This is a plugin for putting text on a page that is unrelated to the staves: titles, dedications, lyricists, copyrights, catalog numbers and the like.
Up to 9 markups can be defined from each object.
Setting the Class to StaffSig allows the markup to be repeated for subsequent pages.
Markup commands are prefixed by '/'. Supported commands are:
/a - angle
/c - character[.repeat]
/d - duplicate or transparent
/f - font[.styleDigit[size]]
/h - home[ x]
/p - page[offset]
/r - return[y]
/x - add to horizontal position
/y - set vertical position
/a is in degrees (°) counterclockwise
/h, /r, /x and /y are in points (1/72 inch, 0.353 mm), positive is upward
/c is the (unicode) char decimal code
/p prints the page number (adding the optional [offset] starting page number)
/d repeats the following item the specified number of times; if the number is negative then it doesn't print but updates the x position as if it had written
/r resets the x position and increments the y position by the amount specified
The vertical positions are relative to the plugin marker position.
All that is not a command is written verbatim.
Items are displayed using Staff Italic (3) unless preceeded by /f
In /f the integer part of the number is the font number in NWC's scheme of things:
1 = Staff symbols
2 = Staff small symbols
3 = Staff italic
4 = Staff bold
5 = Staff lyric
6 = Page title text
7 = Page text
8 = Page small text
9 = User1
10 = User2
11 = User3
12 = User4
13 = User5
14 = User6
If the font number is negative (e.g. /f-9) then the whiteout mode is used: everything is drawn in the background color.
In /f the first digit after the decimal point (styleDigit) is the font style:
0 = as specified in the font number
1 = normal
2 = bold
3 = italic
4 = bold italic
5 = as specified in the font number but as contour
6 = contour normal
7 = contour bold
8 = contour italic
9 = contour bold italic
Additional digits specify the fraction of the size (always < 1), e.g., /f9.03 means 30% of the size, /f9.015 means 15%.
"Menu options" ("Opts:") is a list of options, one for each possible markup: 1 Type, 2 Type, …, 9 Type, 1 Page, 2 Page, …, 9 Page
Options set to their default values appear empty.
Empty values at the end of the list are removed.
"Type" and "Page" for each item can also be set by the Context Menu. (Right click on the object in the score, then select "object")
"Type" list
1 - 'Top left' (default)
2 - 'Top center'
3 - 'Top right',
4 - 'Bottom left'
5 - 'Bottom center'
6 - 'Bottom right'
7 - 'Staff left'
8 - 'Staff center'
9 - 'Staff right'
"Page" list
1 - 'All' (default)
2 - 'Odd'
3 - 'Odd (except 1)'
4 - 'Even'
Items of the same "Type" need to be located with /y
How many (so far) undocumented features!

Funn phones mime artist Marcel Marceau, who responds in French with the only spoken word in the film: a resounding "Non!"

I think Windows has some API calls to get the locale for "yes", "no", "cancel", "abort", "retry", "ignore", the days of week, the months etc. but I think it's too much trouble for too little.
Yes, many languages have the negation starting with 'n': "no", "nein", "non", "não", "niet" so it's easy to check for it instead of the affermative form. But NWC is in english without any hint of translation anywhere, so I think that even the casual user is well accustomed to "yes" and "no".

General Discussion / NWC bug
The API functions doesn't take care of an accidental "inherited" via a tie from a previous measure.
For the common user this is apparent, as far as I can tell, only if you try to use the courtesy accidentals like here:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)Not such a big trouble, luckily.

But, as programmer, I had to reinvent the wheel performing a lot of the parsing NWC already does normally...

Object Plugins / Re: Glissando.ms (2.3)
The problem with the pitch bend arises because there is a big difference in the two cases:
in a case the bending starts from 0 and goes to target, then quickly returns to 0 while the note is still somehow sounding (release time). This is quite difficult to manage.
In the other case the bendings starts from target and ends to 0, so the playing can continue normally.
For the other problems I need to think more, and here is bed time. I already said too many stupid things for today.

Object Plugins / Re: Glissando.ms (2.3)
My synth sax seems to need about 50 ticks to stop the note.
It all depends on the release time of the voice!

General Discussion / Too much swing!
All was fine with my computer and his synth.
With my great surprise, when I connected an external keyboard via an USB-MIDI converter the third beat, and only that, was syncopated!
I checked a rechecked everything with no avail.
My hypothesys is that it's a case of MIDI overload. Too many MIDI messages.
Indeed, removing some instruments all becomes regular.
Sic!

Edit: Easily solved: simply muting the first note. But why we get that odd effect otherwise?
Because in a case the bending starts from 0 and goes to target, then quickly return to 0 while the note is still somehow sounding. In the other case the bendings starts from target and ends to 0.
Better think more... sorry.

Object Plugins / Re: Glissando.ms (2.3)
But see what happens in this case:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)Possible solution: adding a note off of the starting note before starting the glissato. (positive side effect: no need to mute any note, an annoying task)

More: what if the glissato needs to be the whole length of the tied first notes?

Probably it's easier to do than to explain them.

Thanks
129
General Discussion / What does it mean?
Usually they stands for indetermined pitch sound, in special mode percussive or spoken/shouted.
In this case they seem pitched.
The instruments are trumpet and sax. For sax it could maybe indicate slapped, but for trumpet?

General Discussion / Re: The impossible triplet
Well, all I did for Flurmy's red notes was to change the stem direction of one or the other, and then I was able to apply the triplet.
This is probably because there is an "Opts" for the main voice, and there is no "Opts2" for the second voice (which has Pos2 and Dur2)

It is recommended that you use a transparent bar line after the boundary change gap width. This will allow:The system connection will no longer be shown when the gap width is at the end of the staff.
- a system change immediately after the gap width
- the bar line to orphan at the end of a system and not be visible
The transparent bar line has position, whereas an invisible one doesn't.
