I'm sure that xml import will be default very soon. It's fast becoming an expected feature on most notation programs. The new Printmusic, Harmony Assistant and Lilypond (free) all have it.
The scanning software is a different matter. Printmusic now includes it and H.A. has it as an 'add on' but both have pretty awful reviews.
I must admit to not liking NWC at first. However, I'm starting to appreciate it a lot more. Especially now I've discovered this forum!
Excellent! I've just had a go and it works very well. Thanks a lot.
I must confess to having NWC for at least 2 years, but it's only recently I've started using it.
I've also just discovered some free programs for producing pdf files which will be extremely useful.
In the future I'd like to be able to scan music and edit it. I read that Sharpeye is supposedly the best program for music recognition and now it's possible to import .xml into NWC.
I've just started using NWC and have been comparing it to my free Finale Notepad download.
Over all, I find it's much easier to use NWC, particularly entering the notes via the keyboard.
I have 2 questions.
I have a piece of music that overshoots the page by just one bar, i.e. the last bar is printed on the second sheet.
Is it possible to shorten the last bar(s) on the first sheet in order to fit the last bar on?
I'm currently putting together some children's Christmas carols - -specifically for 2 trumpet/clarinets and piano. Thus the typical piano staves and 2 for the trumpets above.
The piano part automatically has the nice 'squiggly brackets' (sorry - correct term?) around the 2 staves at the beginning of each line to indicate they go together.
Is it possible to put the same thing at the beginning of the 2 trumpet parts?
