Many thanks, haymo and RickG. It was my printer, which I changed recently. I had set it as my default printer, also in NWC, and this caused the "squashed" image in Page Setup, although I`ve no idea why - could be a driver problem as you suggest. I`ve now changed the default printer to PDF995 and - problem solved! Thanks again.
Hi. In Print Preview, the pages have suddenly begun to appear in half their normal width, squeezing everything together and causing much overlapping. It`s impossible to work with like this. Any ideas as to what may be causing this please? It`s causing me big problems at the moment, as I need an accurate preview to make any adjustments to the score. Every other aspect on my PC seems to be in order.
And g`day to you Lawrie! EUREKA! That`s the baby! It`ll be $15 well spent. My piano, guitar and bass parts can now resemble those from the bygone days when all our charts had to be hand written. Many thanks to you and all the other contributors.
This could go on ad nauseam! Rhythm marks, comping marks, comping slashes, strum patterns, apart from my guitar markers, are all mentioned here, showing that there isn`t an absolute terminology for this, anyway. But at this stage, I`m sure everyone knows what I`m talking about. At the moment, I`m wading through scripto, as William suggested, but I`m not holding my breath. David mentioned headless notes. Being a layman where NWC is concerned, I`m assuming this means crotchets, quavers etc, with the stems, but no heads (dots). If so, in words of one syllable please - how are they created? My NWC version is 1.75.10. Thanks.
Well well well! A real can of worms here! Having only been around as a pro musician/arranger since about 1958, what do I know? They were always referred to as phrasing markers back in those halcyon times. However, I suppose I must succumb to more modernistic phraseology (no pun intended!), and accept that sundry other names have evolved over time. Lawrie Pardy`s second "this" (top staff), shows exactly what I`m referring to - literally markers showing how the guitar chords are to be phrased. It can`t come much clearer than that! I can only assume from all this that these are not available in any form or work around in NWC?
Sorry folks - this should only have appeared in `general discussion`. I obviously hit a couple of wrong buttons. I can`t believe you`ve never heard of phrase markers. They`re used for guitar, also piano or bass, when using chord symbols, to indicate any particular phrasing that needs to be followed. Appearing as a note, tail down, crotchet, quaver or minim, with a line angled to the right instead of a note head.
At the risk of asking a question that`s been asked ten million times - are there any reliable guitar phrasing markers available anywhere in NWC?? Many thanks. stokots.

Thanks, guys (or gals). I`ve implemented both of the above suggestions re NWC and it is working fine. However - still problems with the fonts. I`ve downloaded and unzipped Boxmarks, Cresc. and nworn3 fonts and all are appearing with the `windows cannot open` icons, instead of the normal blue ones. I can open these in this form, but they will not copy into my fonts folder, in which all existing fonts are in their normal blue "livery". Never had this problem before. Any solutions? Many thanks. stokots.
Help, please! I`ve just done a complete system restore, clearing my C drive. Having previously saved NWC to my back up drive D, I now find that all my NWC files now show the "Windows cannot open" icons instead of the usual green piano with red notes. I have just re downloaded the Boxmarks font, but instead of the normal blue font icon, this too is showing the "Windows cannot open" icon, and therefore will not load into my main icon folder. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks. Stokots
