General Discussion / Re: Time stamping printed pages

2017-02-26 09:28 pm

This would seem to be a possibility for a User Object.

It should be possible to put the info you want into the Comment field and have a User Object put on the printed page.

Currently, the Lua API will return the date of NWC2.exe but not today's date or the date of the source nwc/nwctxt file. Perhaps a function could could be added to the API to return this info.

I am not writing User Objects now, but others may want to comment.

It's only single lines of folk music, so it's pretty simple stuff.

You might consider exporting the NWC file to a MIDI file. There ought to be dozens of utilities out there that will convert MIDI to ABC

You can send an nwctxt file. At worst she will need to change the first line from:

!NoteWorthyComposer(2.751)

That should work. IMO, NWC would be improved if the Boundary items didn't need to be separated by note (or other duration item.) Better still, if only one Boundary item could be used that could be flagged as applying only to the measure in which it appears.

There is no break at all, so the second B flat is not heard at that speed, at least with my synth.

Even with a slight break I can't hear the second B flat at fast tempos. I would think that this varies by instrument and by synth.

Quote from: Mike Shawaluk – 2017-02-09 12:31 am

the final notes of each arpeggio will actually occur after the start of the next note.

No, they don't.
One problem is that 'Anticipated playback' is checked for the first two, but not the last one. Still, playback is:

Code: (mtx) [Select · Download]

768 On ch=1 n=74 v=110
784 On ch=1 n=77 v=110
800 On ch=1 n=82 v=110
816 On ch=1 n=74 v=0
816 On ch=1 n=77 v=0
816 On ch=1 n=82 v=0
816 On ch=1 n=82 v=110
1120 On ch=1 n=82 v=0

for the last one. If you slow it down, playback sounds better. As it is, 16 clicks between Note On's for the B flat is barely audible at a fast tempo. If you make the 'Arpeggio rate' 128, there is 36 clicks between the Note On's for the B flat. That sounds better.

IMO, you are running into the limits of the synth's knowledge of what to do.

They can use the NoteWorthy Composer Viewer. It supports nwctxt files and allows printing. It shouldn't be too difficult for a script to modify the fonts and sizes of an nwctxt file for a given display device.

My guess is that (at least) one of the voices is a transposing instrument and the
transposition has not been applied correctly.

My thought as well.
A pitch bend might also cause this. It is also possible that the synth is not resetting after its last use.

Interestingly, the plain staccato/staccatissimo notes are a bit softer (velocity = 110) compared to notes with tenuto applied (velocity = 116)

It wasn't always like that. Tenuto used to be an articulation of duration, not force. Now it is both.

The coda character is at the font position of the ligature "fi", and it seems it is impossible to paste a "|Text|..." segment with such a character here - or is it?

The coda glyph is in NWC2STDA.ttf, a symbol font. IMO, it is not useful to compare symbol font mappings with non-symbol fonts.
This works for me:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)

however, if you start passing clips among text editors, browsers, and various versions of NoteWorthy, things can get squashed.

I think the notation you are referring to is called a mordent.

I disagree. Looks like a trill.

For some reason, layer with next staff is suppressed.

Check: Allow Layering in Page Setup.

Then:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposer(2.75)
|AddStaff|Name:"Staff"
|StaffProperties|EndingBar:Open (hidden)|WithNextStaff:Layer
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:3|Opts:Stem=Up
|Rest|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Down
|Rest|Dur:8th,Triplet=First|Opts:Stem=Up
|Note|Dur:8th,Triplet|Pos:3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:8th,Triplet=End|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
|Note|Dur:8th,Triplet=First|Pos:n5|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:8th,Triplet|Pos:6|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th,Triplet=End|Pos:5|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End

the piano comes in before the voice, to hide the vocal line for the first few printed staves?

The sample file: ROSE.nwc has a piano intro. If you add:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)
|Boundary|Style:Collapse
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

at the beginning of the Vocal Staff (before the Treble Clef), and you add:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)
|Boundary|Style:EndCollapse
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

after the opening bar of measure 7, you might see what you are seeking.
This particular example will need a bit more editing. Suppressing the Vocal Staff also hides the initial Tempo.

But you would need to take care of the staff wrapping yourself.

With the exception of Melismatic.nw, this is a problem with all objects that might span a barline. IMO, a general solution is badly needed.

My thoughts on the subject are that such objects will need to have an ID. A bar object (yet to be written) is needed to list what var(s) in what ID'ed object(s) need to change if the system breaks at that bar.

Not an easy task ...

~~For a variety of reasons, IMO, NWC would be improved if 'Augmentation Dots' was added to the Marker item list.~~
It appears that this will be handled by a new 'Extra Dot Spacing' option.

Is room reserved for Author, Copyright, etc. even if those fields are empty?

Yes.

You can reduce the font sizes to reserve less space.
Boundary changes can be used for "system by system" spacing.

General Discussion / Re: Grace Note Slurs

2016-10-05 01:00 pm

Good catch. I'd go as far as calling this a bug:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)
|Note|Dur:8th,Grace,Slur|Pos:5
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:8th,Grace,Slur|Pos:5
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

Easy enough to work around, but IMO, it should be fixed.

From your description, it might be anything.
BTW, if you have 45 levels in print preview, you have a strange printer. I only have 9

Does the number after "Upper" to be twice the number after "Pos" (8 * 2 = 16)?

No. Larger numbers will result in more space. Smaller numbers will result in less space. NWC will let you know if it doesn't like your number
