Tips & Tricks / Working with Repeats, Flow Directions and Special Endings
An additional tip when working on the flow of a song is to break the song into blocks. These blocks are individual sections that may or may not be played more than once, but they can be separated. Then give each block a name, like A, B, C, etc. Then write out the flow of the song, using the block names. For example, your song may flow ABACDAC. From that, figure out how to implement Repeats, Flow Directions and Special Endings in your song. This will help you see at a higher level without all the measures of notes clouding your view.

Tips & Tricks / Metronome
The file metronom.nwc (1K) is an example of a simple beat metronome with the sound of a Side Stick from the MIDI Drum list. You may want to select a Hand Clap for the sound, if that reminds you of your teacher sitting beside you clapping out the beat. To change the tempo, simply select the tempo and press Alt+Enter to edit it.
You may want to create your own collection of metronomes, from simple to more elaborate like the rhythm templates in NoteWorthy Composer. Remember to set the Channel of the staff (Staff: Staff Properties, MIDI) to 10 or 16 for your drum channel. See the file drumref.nwc in NoteWorthy Composer for more examples of sounds and how the drum channel works.

Tips & Tricks / Printing a Song with Varying Number of Staves / Printing One Song After Another
- Create each group of staves in different *.nwc song file (Ex: song file for 3 staves, song file for 2 staves, song file for 3 staves)
- Use File: Print Preview Copy to copy the first section (first *.nwc song file)
- Paste (Ctrl+V) into another application like a word processor
- Use File: Print Preview Copy to copy the next section (next *.nwc song file)
- Paste (Ctrl+V) into other application after the first section
- Repeat as many times as needed
You can also use this procedure to print one song after another.

Tips & Tricks / Print Group and Play Group
It is possible to create text symbols with Insert: Text like tr~~~~ for trill or { for arpeggiating chords. It is also possible to notate how a trill or an arpeggiating chord would play back.
Using groups in NoteWorthy Composer, you can create a Print/Display Group using Insert: Text for the symbols. Then create a Play Group where you notate the symbols. A staff is placed in a Group with Staff: Staff Properties, General tab, Group. Use File: Page Setup, Contents to select the staves to display and the staves to print.
The sample song file moonlite.nwc is a good example of using a Print Group and a Play Group.
