OK, so I bought myself a 24" monitor and now I have all sorts of real estate for displaying my music.
Q1: Is there a way to do a print preview that will show more than one page simultaneously? Two pages would fit beautifully side-by-side on this screen.
Q2: Is there a way to word-wrap the staff line (only one staff needed for my guitar work) so that I don't have to scroll back and forth so much when I'm editing music? I could easily let the staff word wrap to about 5 staves if this was possible.
I have a hunch the answers are No and No, but perhaps some clever musician has some ideas which I will gladly entertain.
I want to notate a chord (take a simple C) to name the notes in it. I selected a small font, 8-point and placed the name of the notes just left of the chord. The note names look small but good in the Editor but when I select Print Preview or Print, the note names are not there. Do I have something turned off somewhere?
At 70 years old, my eyes aren't what they used to be, but I still like playing the guitar and piano keyboard. Is there a way to increase the diameter of the printed noteheads or the size of the staff in general? Can't find anything in the tutorial manual.
I would like to turn off note entry into the staff when I use the piano toolbar. I don't want to delete the piano toolbar entirely. I want to be able to play notes on it, but not have those notes entered into the staff until I want them entered into the staff. Any ideas?
I have a music sheet for "Love Me Tender" that I am attempting to enter into NWC. When I input the first two measures, they look like the attachment with this post. The top staff has four beats per measure and I'm not sure how many beats the bottom staff (for guitar) has. The measure lengths look right on the music sheet I have and the notes are correct. Would someone please tell me what's going on here.
The music sheet also has a third staff, tablature for guitar, which I did not enter (just as an aside, does NWC allow tablature?). I have the NWC 2.5 User's Guide (very nice document by the way) but I cannot find answers to my problems.
I can scan the music sheet as a jpg or pdf if that will help. All replies will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.
I would like to address a problem to the forum but I need to post a small pdf file that shows two or three measures of a song that I wish to question. Is there a place I can post such a file so I can comment on it to the forum?
How do I show that a chord is to be played slowly one note at a time? The chord would typically be at the end of a song and should be played slowly like a slow strum on a guitar. If I'm not mistaken it looks like a snake-like vertical line just before the chord, but I can't find it anywhere in the menus.
I now have my Yamaha 61-key keyboard to play on and Noteworthy software for composition writing. I am enjoying both.
I would like to take a song that I composed in Noteworthy, output it to a MIDI file, then mix that MIDI file with singing through a microphone plugged into a Soundblaster Live card, then save that to a file. What relatively simple mixer program would you recommend that would mix the MIDI with a mike input and save it to a file? This is strictly for my own entertainment, nothing professional required.
If I change my dynamic of a note within a song, how do I change the dynamic back to what it was? I know I can change it to any of the available options, but which is the default at the start of a song?
