Thank you all very much! I hadn't paid attention to the Expression Placement tab enough to learn its possibilities.
For the work I am presently doing, using the Center justification with the diamond right after the bar line actually places the rehearsal number closer to the bar line than does placing the diamond at the end of the previous measure and using At next note/bar. So Centering is it, for now.
I want to put rehearsal numbers (I don't know a way to do that other than with text expressions) above periodic bar lines, or at least between the bar line and the first note of the measure. So far, the best I can do is to get the diamond marker between the bar line and first note, which makes the rehearsal number fall to the right of the first note.
(I know about measure numbers, but in the score I'm copying, they aren't used; it's just the periodic numbers, which don't match the measure numbers.)
I see that I can nudge a text expression a little to the right by using spaces before it, but I need to nudge it a little to the left!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. --APB in northeastern CT
Thank you all very much. My face is terribly red, however; when I went to make the change Peter suggested, I realized that Lawrie was right: I had left out the tie-terminating note in measure 20. Put it in; no problem any more.
(FYI, I was creating a NoteWorthy file from an imported MIDI. In order for the NWC file to resemble the published score, I put in the repeats and different endings and got rid of the extra notes that had been in the file as first converted. More care will be taken next time!)
Thanks for the suggestions; I really need to study up to figure out what you both are saying!
I would like to post an image from my score, but am not sure how to do that. I see the Insert Image button, but how to get the file uploaded from my machine?
As the subject says, I have a note in the measure (let's call it A) immediately preceding the 1st ending measure, tied into that 1st ending measure (called B). B ends with a Master Repeat Close. The next measure (C) is the 2nd ending; the note from A is not tied into C. (If it matters, the next measure, D, begins with a Master Repeat Open.
The problem is that the tied note in A is fine the first time around, but continues to sound through the 2nd ending and on.
I have checked the Help, the various FAQs, and this forum. The closest I came to a useful answer was here: https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=4250.0, where "NoteWorthy Online Admin" said: "When each of your endings is designated with a special ending designation, a tie into the first ending will be expected in all other endings as well. If the note in the final ending does not show a tie into it, then that ending is not designated correctly. Take a look at the REPEAT*.NWC samples in the program folder. It will show how to construct a special ending repeat sequence."
I have looked at all the samples, and as far as I can tell, I have constructed the special endings and repeats correctly. (Measures constructed similarly are working in other pieces I've dealt with.) It's just the situation where there is a tie into the 1st ending but not the 2nd which is causing problems.
I will appreciate corrections or suggestions for a workaround.
