General Discussion / Re: Repeat endings problem
I did some experimenting, and found that the presence of a double bar line within the first & second ending was the culprit in the extra repeating.  Apparently, the double bar somehow negates the repeat count.  The double bar is valid because it separates a verse section from a chorus section within the special ending.  IMO, this is a bug. 

I am used to maintaining two copies of a song file, one to print and another to play. so it's not critical, but I believe the double bar should not scramble the repeat logic.

Thanks,
Jim

General Discussion / Re: Repeat endings problem
I am actually having a similar problem with a score I just entered for my church choir.  There are two repeated sections with special endings 1&2, then 3, and the second repeated section just plays over and over never taking the final ending.  (I never waited for 7 repeats.)  I am keeping an eye on this thread.

I am not a novice user, and have not experienced problems with repeats before.

Thanks,
Jim

General Discussion / Re: Notes turn red
I accidentally hit the backslash key instead of the backspace key so often that I finally added an icon on one of my toolbars.  This way I can reset the default color with a single mouse-click.  This has saved me a lot of frustration.

On the View menu, select Toolbars... >  Customize...  Pick a toolbar (I picked the Note toolbar) and add Item Color Default as the last command.

General Discussion / Re: Staff labels struggle (is over)
Oh, well.  I thought it would be worth a try.  I would probably live with the two brackets.  I doubt the high-priced packages can even get that close.

My day job is as a system analyst and I do programming, database design and data analysis all day.  The music is my play time so I depend on the techies here to do the problem solving and tool development.  Don't want to learn another scripting language (php).  Copy/paste and maybe search/replace with nwctxt is about as deep as I want to go with it.  If they had chosen perl for scripting, I might've tried my hand at it........

Luck with your endeavors.

General Discussion / Re: Hiding Hairpins
I rather thought this would not be a trivial bit of programming, but pasting the single line of text that Rick provided is easy enough. 

I still think this is the best and most flexible notation application out there.  I've been able to create marching band charts, free meter chant based organ music, choral music, rehearsal CDs for my church choir, generate midi files to run through sound fonts for more realistic sound files and so much more.  And all for $40!

And the support of this forum is invaluable.  Tips & Tricks, learning to work with User Tools, being able to ask questions and get answers from around the world.  Way cool.

Now I'm working keying in old photocopies and handwritten music from 30 years ago before they completely disintegrate.  Thanks!

Tips & Tricks / Re: PDF to NWC
This PDF2music Pro program works pretty well unless you have a score in free meter with minimal bar lines.  It expects a time signature and does too much calculation to render this type of score, but otherwise, for modern music with standard time signatures and measures with bar lines, it does a good job.  Cleaning up bar lines and a few voicing anomalies beats entering a complete score manually.

Thanks.

User Tools / Change clef tool error
I am having trouble using the Change Clef tool.  I am trying to convert a Bass Clef tenor part (split from single staff ten/bass line using Parts tool) to single treble clef notation. 

I keep getting the following error:

Error: [in C:\Program Files (x86)\Noteworthy Software\NoteWorthy Composer 2\Scripts\lib\obj_NWC2Clip.inc, at line 35]
--> Unrecognized notation clip format header


I have the standard starter pack installed and worked out the relative directory paths in the command line, but do not know enough PHP to troubleshoot this error. 

My environment is Win Vista 64 bit with NWC 2.5.1.  I have successfully executed other user tools. I have also reviewed the Change Clef thread from a couple years ago, but didn't find anything relevant to this error.

Thanks,
Jim

General Discussion / Re: Hiding Hairpins
Thanks, Rick.  I am starting a text file to store little NWC tricks like this to quickly copy/paste from.

I keep similar files on my desktop at work to copy/paste things like long directory paths and command strings at the command line (whether unix or Windows CMD) to save time and typos...

General Discussion / Re: Hiding Hairpins
Thanks for the tip, Bill.  Without knowing what the programming effort would be, I guess we could chalk this one up to "would be nice".

I kinda' like the ease-of-use of the hairpin tool as opposed to insert > dynamic variance > select variance type > visibility > never > position, etc., and would love to be able to right click on the haipin, choose visibility > never and just keep going.

General Discussion / Re: Hiding Hairpins
For piano and organ music on 2 or 3 staves, you don't want to clutter the score with 3 hairpins for the same dynamic marking ( one on each staff).  Jim

General Discussion / Re: Forcing line break under collapsed staff.
I'm lovin' this staff collapse feature.  I often create 3-staff organ parts and have always wanted to suppress the pedal line when there is a long section with no pedal part.  Just tried it on a piece where the pedal doesn't enter until measure 24.  This feature rocks!

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
Hey, Rick,

You posted while I was typing.  I don't do a lot of midi importing unless that is the only format available.  I've been doing some chant arrangements for organ and chant sites often notate in the ancient neume notation only and the downloadable midi file is the only easy way to get the tunes (sometimes with harmonization) into modern notation.

I understood the send keys command.  It was the rest of the code I couldn't really follow.  I took Visual Basic several years ago, but by the time I finshed the twelve weeks of 3 classes, they had already released the next version and everything was different.  Now MS has moved off to .NET and I can't keep up with it. 

Bottom line is I don't understand VBScript.  The php I kinda can read and follow.  At work, I go from MicoFocus COBOL (!), to Windows, to unix to perl to IBM Websphere to ORACLE to MSSQL and my "poor widdlle bwain" gets confused enough as it is.

Thanks for the explanation, though.  Hope folks enjoy my narratives.  I have a few more stories to tell about the neat things notation software has allowed me to do without pencil and paper.

Later.

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
Lawrie.

I thought the global mod was really cool.  I got it to do what I needed.  The tie thing threw me for a minute is all.  Lookimg at the nwctxt output I figured out the "^" code pretty quickly.  I can run with it.  I got the midi file from a chant site and wanted to take it to the organ to play.  Now I just need to untangle where the inside voices cross to complete readability.  I still think NWC is the best notation application out here.

I have a co-worker who plays keyboard in a rock band and she uses Finale notepad.  She told me she can't enter notes without entering a time signature first.  I find that too restrictive since I work with free meter stuff and chant sometimes with no time signature at all.  Sometimes no bar lines either.  Took me a while to figure out how to make lines wrap.  Invisible bar lines did the trick.

I have installed the whole user tool kit and will see if anything else is there I can use.  I've browsed the user tool topics a bit.  The G flat to F sharp thing was the first problem I couldn't come up with a work around for in years of using this app.  The double whole note would be handy as a sounding notatable object, but I'll live.  I hope to hear back from Randy to see how his handbell project is working out.  I hope my transcription helped him along.  I may look into the newsgroup, too.

Thanks.  You folks are all the best.

A good thing. Otherwise, Pos==1 Pos=-1 would change '-1' to '--1'.

I guess, if the attribute (in this case, Pos:) is not part of the search value. 

I took a brief look at the php code, and it seems that the attributes and the values are parsed into separate array elements, so maybe that requires an exact match.  I also looked at the vbs code and couldn't make heads or tails out of it.

I do development all day long at work, and really just want to be a user of NWC in my free time, so I'll leave the development to others.

Thanks.

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
All,

I got the global edit to work but with a couple issues.

First, I copied and pasted Lawrie's sample command without inspecting it carefully and promptly changed all the G naturals to F#s.  Confused me for a minute.  Then, I fugured out I needed to enter the command thusly:  Note,Pos==b-2 Pos=#-3    (My bad)

Quote from: Lawrie Pardy –
G'day Jim,
You should explore user tools.  For example, the Global_Mod tool could easily be used to fix them.  The Global_Mod command:
Note,Pos==-2 Pos=#-3
will convert all single notes on the second line to sharp notes on the first space.  On a treble clef this would be G to F# -

That worked great except for instances when there was also a tie applied to the note.  When the note was described as Pos:b-9^  (note was G flat below middle C; had a few of those, too), it was not changed. 

I assume this is a standard search and replace function.  By my reckoning, the occurences with the tie character should also have been edited by the same command.  A standard search-and-replace in any text editor would have also affected this string. 

Was this a conscious choice by the developer?  Or determined by the scripting language syntax?  I'm a programmer, but must admit I'm not up on xml, java and php.  For scripting, I use perl.

Thanks.

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
Quote from: Randy Williams (purdue) –
  Again, is a NWC file "portable" regardless of user font chosen?  Can someone without the non-standard font installed still view an NWC file created with that font installed, or will they have to install it too?

Custom user fonts need to be installed on the PC that will be used to view the file.  The fonts themselves are not part of NWC.  I have opened files from others that use custom fonts that I did not have installed on my PC and result was the display of the text characters entered instead of the desired glyph.

The good news is a font only needs to be installed once on a PC, and the font association on the page setup IS part of the NWC file so that is portable.

Good luck.

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list--Adagio NWC version
Randy and Richard,

I didn't think to mention that the Adagio files were NWC 1.75.  Those files were from 2005 and I just finally upgraded to 2.0 last fall when I bought my laptop and all the wireless toys.  The plateau of my brain is shrinking and more stuff is falling off the cliff into the abyss.  : )

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
Hey, Richard,

I think I see what happened in December.  I didn't send all three file sets together. I hadn't figured out how to generate the Jeux file without actually having an SB card.  So, I sent two file sets first and when I got soundfont thing figured out, I sent the third set separately the next day or so.

The first submission contained two files:  (set #1, nwc and midi) the piano/vocal version, and the general midi organ file (set #2, nwc and midi).  Then I send the the third file (Jeux nww and midi-set #3) separately and only the file names were the easily distinguishably different.  The comments were somehat different, but I bet they appeard to be the same at a casual glance.  So #1 and #3 got posted and #2 and got left out.

I'm sorry about the confusion.  I tried to explain it clearly when I submitted, but obviously I didn't.  Also, it was the holiday season and you probably saw the emails all at once along with all your other communications. 

I didn't mean to put on you on the defensive like that.  The posting narrative was actually incidental to my larger point about generating multiple NWC versions of the same piece to achieve different purposes. 

Please accept my apology for any offense.  The description of the file formats I sent to WIMA was informational only.  I sent WIMA pdf, mid, and mp3.  I sent you three sets of mid and nwc in two separate emails and you must have believed #2 and #3 to be duplicate.  Then on 12/25 I asked you what happened to set #2)?  And you probably thought I was just crazy.

Would it be acceptable if I sent the general midi/nwc set later this week?  And, again, mea culpa.

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
Randy,

Another suggestion for you is to just throw out the double bass line.  It just doubles the cello line.



A detail I omitted about the Adagio tonal center

Quote
Specifically, the Barber Adagio.  Lovely, long sustained chords originally the 2nd movement of a string Quartet in B minor.  Written in 4/2 with changes to 5/2 and 6/2 and back along the way.  Not quite sure if the 5-flat key signature is D flat major or B flat minor and how either relates to the B minor key name of the work, but now I digress

To add further confusion, the work begins and ends around an F major chord!  Though the body of the piece seems more centered around B flat minor.  I tell ya, these modern composers......  ☺

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
Hey, MusicJohn,

Thanks.  Hadn't read your reply when I posted answering Lawrie.  I just pasted, posted and kinda logged back off.  Now that I've read both your posts (after answering Randy's), I think I either didn't get the part about auditing in the intermediate key, or made a bad key choice.  I did this all a few weeks back and just wrote about it yesterday after upgrading to 2.1 and seeing the neat stuff I saw and mentioning a few things I'd still like to see come out of development.

I will revisit the workaround, and see where f minor gets me.  I also still want to get some experience with global editing under my belt. 

But I will stand by my idea of being able to apply the enharmonic audit at the note level as a legitimate, reasonable development request and I sumbitted it on the NWSI wish list page.

I also have a lot more to say about the diverse user community, and I'm only one cog amongst lots of wheels.

Maybe I should start a new thread with that topic.

Thanks again, Jim

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list

Wow.  Guess I started something.  And it is going to bring out the diverse usage that any notation application must try to satisfy.  I am going to ramble a bit, but I will eventually hit all the issues.  I, myself, use NWC to may different ends and with different methods to achieve those ends.

The first big divergence is whether I want make a nice printout or generate a sound file.  Or both.  And why.

I submitted three arrangements of Schubert's Ave Maria to the scriptorium in December.  Only two got posted and I believe that failed to serve all the needs I intended to address for potential downloaders.  I submitted a piano/vocal version that could play as midi and serve satisfactorily as sheet music.  I submitted an organ version with standard midi with repeats and registration instructions for first time  and second time that printed on 3 pages and was primarily for use as sheet music for working organists.  I submitted a another organ version for listening with the Jeux organ sound font where I removed the repeat and did a copy/paste of the repeated section with a new "instrument" setting to aurally demonstrate how the repeated section could sound following the written organ registrations in the version with the repeat signs.  This version was not intended for printing as it would be 5 or six pages with the same written music printed twice.   Much more inconvenient to play from at the organ bench. 

The second version of the Schubert, general midi, with the repeat and only three printed pages was never posted depsite a repeated request to the site adminstrator.  I didn't press any further because I did get it posted on the Werner Icking Archive in a 3 page pdf, standard midi (posting requirement at WIMA), and an mp3 of the Jeux font rendered through SynthFont.   I don't have an SB card, but copied the patch numbers displayed in SynthFont to create the separate Jeux midi for the Scriptorium.  I haven't heard that it doesn't play properly, so I guess either the software/manual patch entry fakeout worked, or nobody was interested in listening to the file in the first place.

Then, there's choral arranging.  I really appreciate the functionality provided by a good notation application here.  I create a standard four staff vocal score with piano acc. for the singers and the director.  Then copy, save as, layer, tranpose the tenor to bass cleff, layer, save, print and there's a two staff version for the accompanist's convenience.  ( I was  often the accomp. and I just can't manage reading four staves.  Never could.)  Need it tranposed because we don't have a soprano with high A?  Give me 5 minutes.  Done!  Love it.


Now, more organ transcription.  Specifically, the Barber Adagio.  Lovely, long sustained chords originally the 2nd movement of a string Quartet in B minor.  Written in 4/2 with changes to 5/2 and 6/2 and back along the way.  Not quite sure if the 5-flat key signature is D flat major or B flat minor and how either relates to the B minor key name of the work, but now I digress. 


I originally wrote this out in about 1991 by hand directly to three organ staves, transposing and voicing as I went along after marking up a photocopy of the orchestral score with a lot of pencil notes. (The composer himself aranged the movement for string orchestra with basses doubling the cellos till cellos take the melody building up to the climax.  He also did a choral arrangement to the text "Agnus Dei".  Also lovely, but requires a really good large choir.)  Anyway, I've used this handwrriten copy a lot, and it is yellowing and fading and cracking, so I decided to get it in the computer a couple years ago so I could get a fresh paper copy.  I don't really intend to go back and rework it because it's done and I don't want to mess with it.  I can live with it as it is and have other projects to spend my time on.  Just thought I would mention to NWSoftware that I would like to see double whole notes available some time in the future.  Variable duration for proper free meter notation would be nice, but that would probably be really hard to develop.  I'm a computer programmer myself, and would not know how to approach that notion.

Alternatively, I downloaded a "keyboard" arrangement from the internet with the meter changed to 4/4 (5/4, 6/4) and transposed to a simpler key.  It also had lots of errors, but it was free and sounds good on electric keyboard with strings or string pad.  Just got the whiteout and fixed it by hand since I know the work so well.

I have two NWC files for this work.  One for printing another for playing through midi with some alterations to make up for the fact that I use the sub-octave coupler on the organ for the last section, so I didn't notate the octave doubling by the violas for the printout, but needed to add it for the sound file.


Randy, I'm sharing both files so you can see what I did.  Hope they help. 

I have done some other really neat things that I'll save for another time.  I' tired of typing, so will post this and pick up again later.  I'm on vacation from my day job this week.

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
Tried to answer earlier, but my network burped just I was posting and I lost the whole message.  GRRRRRRR!

So I typed into a text file and will paste:


Thanks for the transposing trick recommendation.  I found that post the day I was working with the MIDI file, tried it a few times, and the G-flats always reappeared, even if I went to a key with sharps and back.  So no luck there.  Global edit sounds like the right answer for this.

I love your "youfonymums" tagline.  I played t-bone in high school.  Used to like to try other instruments in the band closet.  Could actually get music out of single reeds, and other low brass.  Couldn't pucker enough for the trumpet.  Couldn't get above high G on the clarinet.  Getting an in-tune scale out of a French horn made for a good day.  My favorite "exercise" was to play Londonderry Air on as many instruments as possible.  Could never get the high A to sound on the clarinet, though.

Really liked playing baritone horn/euphonium.  Mellower sound than the trombone.  We had a concert march piece entitled "Coat of Arms" that had a killer baritone part.  It was an interesting counter melody to the treble and was a blast to play because it could stand alone and didn't sound like a "low brass" part.

As an adult, I pretty much just play keyboard.  I have an electronic piano and just got a new (used) Conn 716 organ off of Ebay for $500.  'Course it cost $600 to ship cross country but my old instrument was dying and would have cost thousands to fix.  It was a Conn, too, and Conn stopped making organs probably 30 years ago.  So, I think I got a good deal.

Let me know if you'd like to hear the Adagio.  I don't think it public domain yet, so I can't post to the Scriptorioum, but could email for private use I think.

Take care.
Jim

P.S.  Still hope NWS will consider my requests.  May post on their site, too.

General Discussion / Re: Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
Thanks, Lawrie.  I will definitely explore the user tools.  Global command editing sounds worth the learning time. 

I'll have to think about how badly I want to apply the double whole note solution, though.  It would require quite a bit of effort.  There are four pages of tied double whole notes in chords with meter changes (4/2, 5/2, and 6/2), staff changes and moving slurred quarter note lines on the same staff.  Do you know the piece?  Lush and beautiful, slow and sustained.  Was used extensively in Platoon, I believe.

Funny story about my work on arranging the piece.  I checked out the orchestral score from the library and brought it home to work on as a project to keep myself busy after I got sober in the early nineties.  Of course, the viola and cello parts had alto and tenor C clef notation and I was converting to two hands and pedal for organ.  I was working on the final section when I heard the piece play on the radio.  Already arranged for organ solo!  Had been done by a fellow named Strickland decades before and was still commercially available in print.  Shoulda' known someone would have already thought of it and done it.  It was a piece that just begged for organ transcription.  Well, I finished it anyway.  And I have to say I like my version better.  Not just because I did all that work, but my arrangement is easier.  I drop the pedal out two phrases earlier, and I like my voicing choices better in some spots.  Some adjustments were necessary to make the notes fit within finger reach on the keyboard.

I know I'm just blathering on, but I love music, computers, and arranging music, and notation software brings it all together in a very special way.  So I spend a lot of time using these tools and playing for church and my own amusement.

Take care.  I have more NWC project stories to share.  May post more soon.

(Though I'd still like to see these two ideas incorporated into the application.)

General Discussion / Just installed NWC 2.1 & wish list
I just installed version 2.1.  Quick first impression very nice.  Great job.  I like the staff label panel, LOVE the piano bar.  I usually use keyboard method to enter notes (keying is quicker and easier for me than using the mouse), but might use piano bar for chord entry.  It's also fun to watch during playback.

There're still a couple things I long for, though.  The other day I imported a midi file in G minor that had a lot of D7 - Gm cadences.  Needless to say, I had a score full of G-flats followed by notated G-naturals.  Since the key signature contained flats, Audit Enharmonic Spelling had no effect.  And I wasn't terribly interested in manually fixing all the F#s and clearing all the natural signs. 

What would be helpful would be an Enharmonic Spelling toggle that could be applied to a single selected note.  That would make editing the Gbs to F#s easier and then I could use accidental audit to clear the natural signs.  I don't know how much development would be involved, but I bet you could reuse a lot of the code already designed in the staff enharmonic audit module as a starting point.

The other feature I would find useful would be a double whole-note.  An assignable time duration would be nice for free meter notation, but I'd settle for a set 8-quarter-note duration.  I made my own organ arrangement of Barber's Adagio 15 years ago.  Pencil and paper.  The meter is 4/2 with lots of double whole notes.  Went to enter into NWC for clean printout and midi and had to settle for using tied whole notes.

Just wishin'.  But seriously, 2.1 is good work.

Thanks for the defense, Lawrie.  My day job is as a System Analyst and database programmer, so I do know the difference between American National Standards Institute and American Standard Code for Information Interchange.  Been working with ANSI X12 EDI support for many years.

Richard, I have a question about submitting as MIDI.  I have a standard MIDI file (with standard MIDI voices).  But I rendered the Jeux soundfont version into MP3 using SynthFont and preset aliases for stop changes.   Would that be acceptable?  I think I could edit the voicing track with yhe appropriate preset instrument values, but don't know if that would be enough to play correctly on someone's SB card.

I have an old MIDI conversion program called MIDIGlass that converts between MIDI and text for editing, but haven't used it for years.  I was trying to generate sheet music from a George Winston recording.  Ripped the CD, converted wave to MIDI and brought that into NWC.  Didn't really work very well.  I had even written a little "c" program to round out the spurious tied 64th notes in the MIDI events, but finally gave up.  Mr. Winston does not publish or even write his arrangements down at all and I really wanted to try and play some of his December album stuff on the piano myself.

Thanks,

General Discussion / Re: 2nd verse lyric to 2nd ending
Thanks.  But I have the underscore set to visibile because there are rhythm variations between the verses (repeated notes with different number of syllables).   Already searched messages and found "God Save the Queen" reference and looked at the example.

Not a big deal, but this is for printout and I would prefer to have no visible characters on the second line under the first ending lyric.

Arrangement of Schubert Ave Maria in F for my ma.  Already had the same source for organ solo arrangement.  Uses single notes for the triplet motive and renders better on the organ as legato instead of the classic double notes in portato style.

I'm considering posting to the Scriptorium.  I have been playing with sound fonts using SynthFont.  Between Jeux and Stephen's Cathedral, I've been having a ball without the SB card.  I have the new Bose LinkSys and broadcast wirelessly from my laptop.

Hog heaven for an organ/computer geek.  ☺

General Discussion / Just upgraded to NWC2
The first thing I noticed when I started entering notes into a new score was they now sound when you enter them.  I've looked at all the Options menus and could not find a setting to disable.

Does anyone have an idea on turning this feature off?  I find it annoying because I'm listening to the radio while keying and don't really need the program to echo each note.

I've been using 1.75 for many years and love the program.  Especially since it is so inexpensive compared to other notation programs.  I have done choral arranging, band arrangments and organ trascriptions using this product and with a little ingenuity and the tips on the scriptorium site, I've always been able to do what I needed.

Thanks,
