General Discussion / Re: Apostrophe in lyric line
The problem doesn't lie with word, nor with nwc, it lies with the stupid software that cannot handle 8-bit ASCII (ANSI) characters. We live in the 21st century, and one would assume that modern software should be able to read and understand modern character codes, or convert them, should it be necessary for output reasons. Personally I would complain loudly to the moron who wrote it. If they never hear anything about it, they'll think it's all well and dandy.

General Discussion / Re: Converting score to jpg?
Another option is to get yourself one of these freeware PDF writers (I use CutePDF, there are others), create a PDF of all the pages, and then use gsview in combination with ghostscript to convert to jpeg, or whatever.

Use google to find the tools.

General Discussion / OT: Simple killfilter for the forum...

You know _why_ this would be useful, don't you?. Right, to keep your blood pressure down.

  var nodes = document.evaluate(

    //which href nodes in the document contain a title?
    "//a[@title]", document, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);

  //search through them...
  for (var i = 0; i < nodes.snapshotLength; i++) {
    var node = nodes.snapshotItem(i);

    // ...for our culprit...
    if (node.innerHTML.indexOf('user_name') > -1) {

      //...and set culprit's article visibility to 'none' and you don't have to see him/her/it anymore.
      node.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.
        parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.style.display = "none";
    }

General Discussion / OT: User styles in Forum...
It seems that as soon as you give juveniles the tools, they will start abusing them.

Anyone else fed up with all that color that is virtually impossible to read? The worst I saw was yellow on yellow. I guess they thought it was, well, "funny".

I wrote this Greasemonkey script to remove all those stupid color combinations, so now they can color everything in yellow on yellow if they want to. All I see is black on white, as it should be:

// ==UserScript==

var spans, thisSpan;
spans = document.getElementsByTagName("span");
for (var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++) {
if (spans.hasAttribute("style")) {
spans.setAttribute("style", "background-color: white; color: black; font: 100% arial;");}}

You need Firefox and the Greasemonkey extension to use it.

Comments are respectfully ignored. Use it or don't. I don't give a you-know-what.

Have a nice day...
