Thanks...............I tried this. I took them out of their folder and placed them individually on the desktop and they opened as usual......phew ! Out of curiosity, I then placed them in a new folder and put them back in the ext. hard drive and again, they open as usual. So it is something to do with the folder ? Anyway, I am very relieved and thank you for looking. Robin
I just opened a few of my NWC files I was working on yesterday and they appear to be empty. ie whereas yesterday they looked like NWC files do, today the same file has nothing in it. The icon hasn't changed but the music notation has disappeared from within it. I had transferred all my NWC to an external hard drive previously but last night everything was fine and I was working from them. My older files are OK, it appears to be ones I have created in the past few months................nonetheless , I was able to use them last night. I am not panicking yet as there is probably a simple explanation that is unclear to me. Any suggestions ? Thanks Robin
Thanks for responding, Warren. I had in fact found this page and spend some time scrutinizing it. My computer skill level is such that I was unable find anything that helped me. Could you point me towards something/somewhere else ? It's only single lines of folk music, so it's pretty simple stuff. Again, any help appreciated. Robin
Hope you can help. I've done my due diligence and searched the site before bothering you all but can't find what I need. To be brief, I'm about to start a new project with trad.tunes & anglo concertina . I have used NWC for 10 yrs or so and love it but where it falls down is being able to put 2 or 3 tunes on one page. abc seems to do this beautifully so I'm hoping to be able to import my NWC files into abc to manipulate them there. I had considered using only abc but after all this time I can speedily notate tunes with NWC and to change I realize would be like learning a new instrument........... don't want that. Any help ? needs to be simple as I'm a simple sort ! Thanks Robin
