Looks promissing. How can I use it to try it out? I downloaded the "update" from reply #5; I only received a warning when I used the user tool. test_0.11 from reply #2? or the earlier "included *jar file? I'm a layman in these matters.
In the choirs I sing in, people with a Windows system use NWC Viewer to practice songs at home for the rehearsals; For people with Apple computers, I export to midi to be used by Myriad's Melody Player or GarageBand ; For Ipad's, Iphones I convert via XML to mscz for Musescore Songbook. PLAYBACK is an excellent help!!
The conversion tool I prefer is:http://nwc2musicxml.appspot.com/ The owner of the tool informed me about the intention to adapt to 2.75, however This Will take time. As we are with our choir in the middle of a project with Spanish and Swedish I consider a downgrade in the meantime. Or can I Change the nwctxt file with "word" in order to support the special characters?
Oh yes, I like keyboard shortcuts as well; hower I didn't find them for dynamics. I added them to the insert toolbar.
I order to use my scores also on IPad, I use conversion tools from nwctxt to xml. However the nwctxt from 2.75 is different from the previous version. As a consequence: one tool does NOT accept the new nwctxt at all, another tool has problems with the conversion of the lyrics, especially with special characters like é è ë å aso. Another point ( less important) is the layout of the new insert toolbar: less efficient then in 2.5.5
No Apple version of NWC Viewer, but..There is a free program called Melody Player, that is available for Apple computers AND Window. What I do for the chorists is to export the NWC files into a midi file. Melody Player accept this format and at the same time you have a solution for : - positioning where you want to start - change the volume of the staffs - change the tempo The Melody Player can be downloaded from: http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/melodyplayer.htm
