General Discussion / Re: Printing problem
Thanks for the suggestion.  While that didn't help, something else did.

I was trying to reprint only selected pages from a non-initial movement.  So the movement in question began on p. 19, and I wanted to reprint some pages starting on p. 22.  When I asked it to print only p. 22, nothing happened.  Apparently the NWC printer thinks every file begins with page 1, even if you say begin pagination on p. 19.  Thus, it probably though p. 22 was out of range.  When I tried to reprint the whole movement, it worked like a charm.  I guess I should have said print only p. 4. (If the movement begins on p. 19, then p. 22 is the 4th page.)

Then I reprinted only p. 8 of the FIRST movement, which begins on p. 1, of course.  It had no trouble recognizing that page.

I don't remember having this problem individual pages from non-initial movements before, but I could be wrong.

General Discussion / Printing problem
While using NWC2 version 2.19 last night to print out a score, the print function suddenly died.  The problem arose between printing jobs, not in the middle of a job.  When I try to print, the printer driver reads the file as already printed (rather than as a job to do) and then discards it.

I ended up copying some pages to image files and then printing those.  This works, except that it doesn't print the page nos.  And of course it's not a very convenient way to print a big job.  Printing from the NWC reader doesn't work either.  I tried reinstalling NWC2, but still the same result.

All of this sounds like it might be a printer problem, not a NWC problem.  But as I said, I was able to print the image files I saved, and I'm able to print from other applications (like Word) with no problem.  It's only printing from NWC and the reader that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

General Discussion / Two questions
When a piece begins with a pickup, bar one is usually considered to be the following (full) bar.  But NWC counts the incomplete bar with the pickup as bar one.  Is there a way to adjust this?

And second, is there any way to extend the title field to have a second line for a dedication or subtitle?

Many thanks,
Peter

General Discussion / Re: Muting chord members in string harmonics
Thanks for the great idea!  Let's say you have a series of several notes, of which only the first is a harmonic.  Notate the harmonic as usual, and mute the chord.  Preceed it with a non-printed but sounded grace note tied to another non-printed grace note on the same pitch immediately before the second (sounded) tone.  That does the trick perfectly.

Thanks again,
Peter

General Discussion / Muting chord members in string harmonics
Is there a way to mute selected chord members?  I'm thinking of string harmonics where (except for the first natural harmonic) you notate the fundamental and the pitch fingered.  You don't normally notate the pitch sounded, but it's a good idea as a curtesy to the player.

If you notate all three pitches, is there a way to mute all but the pitch sounded?  I guess you could mute the whole chord and put the pitch sounded on a hidden staff, but that seems an awkward way to do it for an isolated note.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Peter
