Highlight the required barline on the Vocal staff, press <Alt+Enter> to get to its properties page, make sure the Bar Line tab is active and check “Force System Break”.
When I do this, each line only has ONE measure, (instead of e.g THREE).
On page 6 of the leadsheet pdf it says to take the E half note, (in the measure before the last), and make it a rest-chord with a crotchet quarter rest. How is that done?
I do have NWC loaded on an XP machine at another location; but that location does not have my music work-station. I suppose that I could do the lead-sheet part on the XP machine.
But let me ask you this: If my music piece has no lyrics, does it still make sense to set up the hidden lyric staff so as to have better control of overall layout of the music piece, including lead-sheet chord notations?
There is a problem here when trying to use the GlobMod user tool:
Error Msg: "The procedure point getaddinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll"
Might this problem have to do with the fact that this machine is running Win2000? If so, Is there a possibility that it can be remedied without changing the operating system?
It appears it is going to take some time & sweat to plow thru the leadsheet tutorial; but hopefully the endevour will prepare the musical fields with a fertile soil.
Based on the suggestions of y'all it was just now possible to get the Microsoft C++ 2008 to install on this Win 2000 machine running NWC 2.0; and then it was possible to get the user tool starter kit 2.0 to install!!
Then using alt-F8 the user tool window opened with about 15 choices, one of which says "Global Modification (adp)". Should that glob_mod tool be enough to run the leadsheetsinnwc2.pdf tutorial?
I am studying Mr Pardy's file for creating lead sheets in NWC. (leadsheetsinnwc2.pdf)
I cannot lock the staff position when setting it in the Expression Placement window of Notation Properties. If I set the staff position at 12 and then push enter to write the expression to the staff, then the staff position for the next expression reverts to 1.
Operating on Win 2000 (which I see I have to upgrade in order to use the global mod tools?)
Is anyone familiar with a foot-pedal that would send the command "PAGE_DOWN" to Windows (XP)?
While viewing NWC compositions in Print-Preview with the monitor in Portrait-Mode, (much better than Landscape-Mode for filling up the screen with the composition), I want to be able to page-down with a foot-pedal while playing a musical instrument.
