General Discussion / Re: Request: Advanced player for choir members
I agree there needs to be a player which is easier to use. When I was in a chorus I advocated the use of unregistered NWC as a player until I learned this was forbidden in the license. Before I dropped out, at least one member bought a licensed copy of NWC.An alternative is to distribute midi files as a training aid. The vanBasco player can do everything you need except show the music to the users and, if you know the timing of the various parts, you can have them start wherever they want, e.g., the fugue starts at 3:12. Of course, this is an excellent way to not introduce NWC to your chorus, but it may be the only route.
Edited change: last sentence before quote.
I took a look at the vanBasco player, and yes it is quite useful, but it can only adjust the volume up and down completely (solo and mute buttons, although mute leaves the other channels with a small volume left, proving that the wished functionality should be possible to achieve, technically).
When I read through this discussion thread, I find it difficult to grasp why the NWS company insists that they know what our (choral members') needs are, when it shows they (he?) doesn't.
I have purchased two full Composer licences for our choir, and more could follow.
Still another solution could be to offer a quantum price for the Composer available for choral groups. The backdraw beeing that the composer is perhaps too complex to learn for most ordinary singers.
Still hoping for a good solution, Eric Sandnes
