Thanks. Yes, as I was saying, I surely know how to cut the section I would like to transpose, paste to a new staff, and transpose the staff. That's what I think is quite cumbersome. It would be a nice feature.
Please, please, please, design a feature that will allow me to select a portion of a staff and do a transposition on it so I don't need to create a new staff. Perhaps that's being picky, but it seems like it ought to be a common feature.
I've used noteworthy pretty much since there was a noteworthy and I recommend and love the program, but that would be a really nice feature.
>>Not without changing the intervallic relationships, no. You can select a group of notes and slide them up (or down) the staff with <Ctrl><up (or down) arrow>, but some of the half steps will become whole steps and vice versa.<< - That might do the trick, thanks!
>>If you only want to do (what amounts to) a clef change, that can be done for a staff or a selection. Information available at:<< Interesting idea. Might be okay for strictly recording files, but I'd still have to transpose and fix the clef later or the musicians would be plotting a slow grueling death for me.
<<No. You can stop looking.>> - Agreed. Thanks all!
Many times in the past, while I was in the midst of working on a composition (I'm working on some composition at all times) and also fooling around with my smartphone, the idea came to me: Wouldn't it be cool if Noteworthy could produce a fairly simple Android application to view nwc files and perhaps do simple editing? transpositions? etc.
Honestly, I think it would sell as an inexpensive "add-on' for Noteworthy composer, and giving the tremendous popularity of Android and mobile software, many people would probably buy the mobile application first, and then buy the desktop software.
There is pretty good software already available to interpret single-tone sounds and convert the audio information to MIDI data as well. A person could, say, hum, a melody on a single note, and the computer or device could import it into a file (perhaps even instantaneously, the way a MIDI keyboard works...) which would be a pretty impressive way to write nwc files, even if it was only one line at a time.
You may think me looney, but I would pay as much for such an app as I have paid for the desktop software, and most of the technology to do this is freely available in Java and Android languages, as well as, obviously, Noteworthy composer and player.
Wouldn't be a horrible idea to think about it. I tend to think tablets or something like them is going to replace laptops and desktops in the next 10-15 years or sooner.
