Some months ago, I purchased and installed NWC 2.5, which has been upgraded to NWC 2.5.5.
The old (licenced) version of NWC has been lost.
The attached "LEGACY_config_SELECTION.txt" contains some of the "user tools"
which I had built-up / collected over a number of years.
1. I shudder at the thought of having to type in some of those long parameter lists for "GlobalMod"
2. So far, I couldn't get any of the "Non-official" *.PHP tools to work in NWC 2.5.5.
3. Some of the *.VBS tools are very useful and I would love to be able to use them again.
My PC is XP SP3.
Help to get me going again, will be most appreciated.
(Please spell out, step-by-step, what I must be doing).
For your GlobalMod tools:
With the focus on NoteWorthy Composer, press
Alt+F8A
User Tool popup will appear.
GlobalMod.php is in the '.Starter Tools' Group as 'Global Modification (adp)'
Navigate to that and press
Alt+C for
Copy...
A
User Tool Description popup will appear. Using copy automatically selects the 'Input Type' and 'Options' that the tool expects.
Select what Group you want or create a new group. This works just like the
Group: box in General Staff Properties (http://ntworthy.com/nwc2/help/TAB_STAFFPROPGENERAL.htm).
Using this line as a guide:
The
Name: will be:
The
Command: will be:
Copy and paste are your friend here.
This method should work for any tools that are packaged with the download from NoteWorthy Composer 2 User Tools (http://ntworthy.com/nwc2/usertools/)
Life becomes more complicated for tools written by others...
Instead of the Copy... button, the Browse... button will be used.
Alt+R (B
rowse...) opens a standard Open file dialog popup.
This dialog will always default to your Scripts folder. Tools can be located anywhere, but if you put them in the Scripts folder, they are easier to find.
For PHP tools (*.php and *.wxphp):
Using this line as a guide:
the first step is to make sure that
tripletise.php is in your Scripts folder.
With the focus on NoteWorthy Composer, press
Alt+F8A
User Tool popup will appear.
Press
Alt+N for
New...
Select what Group you want or create a new group.
Press
Alt+R for B
rowse...
Select: tripletise.php and
Open it.
The
Name: will be:
The
Command: will be filled out for you, but you will need to add:
Browse may not select the 'Input Type' and 'Options' that the tool expects.
See the docs that came with the Tool. Sometimes, inspecting the initial comments in the PHP file will guide you.
For tools written in other script languages, you must know what program is used to interpret the script. This gets added to the beginning of
Command:
after you have opened the file via B
rowse...
For tools written in VBScript (*.vbs) or JScript (*.js) either
or
will be used.
So, for:
you will first want to insure that
MakeChord-LP-2.vbs is in your Scripts folder.
Proceed as above, using
New..., making the
Name:
and the
Command:
This will also work:
