General Discussion / coloured slurs
Is it possible to show slurs (when used for phrasing) in colour so that they don't obliterate lyric lines.
If not how can I increase the space between the stave and the lyric.

General Discussion / Re: phrasing and lyrics
Many thanks Lawrie for your speedy response. I had tried to find the answer in the help file. It's strange how it's always clearer when answered in the Forum.

General Discussion / phrasing and lyrics
When I use the slur command to group notes in a phrase the lyric is altered so that the first syllable spans the whole phrase.
How do I avoid this happening?

General Discussion / cha cha
Can anyone point me to examples of cha cha (cha) compositions on the internet or illustrate the accepted notation for the rythym?. Thanks.

General Discussion / Upgrade on 2nd PC
Having upgraded to NWC 2 on my laptop can I follow the same procedure and install my cd and upgrade it on my new desktop?

General Discussion / Virtual Vocalist
I am sure that I have seen posts previously discussing Virtual Vocalist software of various types. I have entered different descriptions in the Search box without any luck.
Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

General Discussion / Convert to Midi
Can anyone suggest a good free Wav to Midi converter?
My initial attempts using AmazingMidi were not as I hoped. Has anyone else used it?

General Discussion / Re: Why is it speeding up?
Hi Rick and Lawrie

I wish I was clever like you guys.

Rick; the Find Command info looks interesting. I've printed off the discussion to study it.

Lawrie - you put me on the right track and I can see your logic.
When I came to look at the score again I realised the D S and S had not been added to the swing tempo staff.
The problem was as simple as that.
I tend to shout for help too soon I guess.

Thanks to you both.

General Discussion / Why is it speeding up?
I can't work out why a score is suddenly speeding up.

The song is AABA format with the BA repeated using Dal Segno  and Segno so the repeat uses the same melody line.bass and other instruments but half way through the repeat the tempo increases.

There is a swing tempo staff but I have replaced this (in case there was an error) with no success.

Has anyone else had this happen?

General Discussion / Re: Volume changes
Thanks David

I don't have NWC2 so I don't know what a hairpin is.

Is it some sort of bookmark?

I took a quick look at your Ellington site. Good work!

General Discussion / Re: Volume changes
Thanks Bill

I think I have done what you describe but I cannot hear any increase in volume.

When I enter the Dynamic do I need to adjust the velocity and volume values?

General Discussion / Volume changes
I am a bit confused with midi controllers, dynamic variance etc.
What is the simplest way to change the volume of an individual instrument in the middle of a score.

General Discussion / When to transpose
I can appreciate that (for instance) a note heard from a Bb trumpet when it plays a note scored as C will be a Bb and that it needs to be transposed accordingly.
II want to play and hear a Noteworthy score in it's final form do I enter the notes for all the instruments in Concert pitch and only transpose them later for printing parts?
I believe this must be the case because the instrument patches do not differentiate between (say) a Clarinet in A or Bb - but I can't get my head round it.  Help!

General Discussion / File Info
I find the 'Authors Name' always seem to clash with a chord symbol.
Can the name be repositioned?

General Discussion / Re: loss of ties etc. when exporting
David

Using Lyric Editor - can chord symbols be added above the staff when a lyric already exists below it? If so how?

I've downloaded 'Swing Chords' but I'm not sure what to do with it!

Sorry to be so dense.

General Discussion / loss of ties etc. when exporting
When exporting to a word processor in order to add chord symbols I find that everything copies fine except slurs, ties and accidentals which do not appear.

Does anyone have an answer to this problem.
