Using IE*, trying to open nwc-scriptorium.org creates a redirect to w w w.webring.org(slash)hub(slash)nwcring so I can't look for music there. The redirect doesn't appear to happen on Firefox.
IE8 goes to the same place - the first time. If you go to the 'search' page, (http://nwc-scriptorium.org/dbmain.html#search) and then adjust the URL, it goes to the correct page. After that, I can't get it to reproduce going to the webring.org URL.
I've been working on a piece for my aunt based on combining Ada's March (by Jean Richards) and 17 msrs written by a friend of hers.
I've had to learn layering, visibiity, text alignment/placement, and 'extra note spacing' - it's really exciting to see it all together when you select 'Allow Layering'. I even have the text for the chords (e.g. Fmaj7) on a separate layer!
I'm stoked - or maybe I'm easily amused
Now if only I can figure out what she means by:
Quote
The left hand I think might be easier if you do it like Ada's March, but of course they would be quarters using an 'oompa' rythm - then if you could chord the right hand notes (if possible) but here agian, maybe you can jus use a chord to go with the basic beats and not do a chord for each and every eight or sixteenth notes. I know what I mean, but I don't know if it is coming out that way on paper.
Nothing like a challenge to stretch your abilities!
I wan't kidding when I said it was for a buddy... I'm pretty proficient at NWC by looking at the score and typing away (note/space, duration, and attributes in one-fell-swoop.
My buddy tells me he "enters a quarternote for each note in the bar, then modifies each note to it's correct duration, then modifies each note with it's correct attribute (one at a time)"... I feel sorry for him. As hard as he makes it, he still has high praises for NWC.
Maybe I should just sit down with him and teach him how to (efficiently) use NWC...
I have a buddy [NWC user but not a power-user] who asked me "since our [church orchestra] music usually consists of a lot of 'dotted eigth-sixteenth' notes, how can I set it up so I can hit a button and get the pair of notes inserted" ?
I tried creating a new usertool, named it, and pasted in the following: !NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single) |Note|Dur:8th,Dotted|Pos:3|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First |Note|Dur:16th|Pos:3|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End !NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Getting back to the original focus of the request - converting wav to nwc...
If I can open a MIDI in NWC, and I start out with a WAV or MP3, then all that I (should) need is a program to convert it from WAV/MP3 to MIDI. Granted I'll lose a little (or maybe a lot) in the double translation, but it's a start...
If you look at all the "MP3 or WAV converters to MIDI" on the internet, I've tried the downloadable versions of almost all of these. Most of them claim to be able to save in MIDI format - I just don't want to shell out the cash and get a crappy application.
Does anyone have one of these "WAV/MP3 to MIDI" converters and would care to comment on its usefullnes/quality?
You must have some church orchestra if you can play that kind of stuff. Nice.
We usually get some 'challenging' pieces every few weeks. It's a lot better than playing hymns 3x in a row! We've got a flute player who is a principle in the Houston Symphony, 4 band directors, high school kids who can blow all day long, and the rest of us are just hacks.
Most of the music we're playing now is arranged by a either Dan Galbraith or [another guy whose name I can't think of right now]. Sometimes 4 or 5 key changes in a piece - 4 to 6# is the most common (easier for the strings and guitars I assume). Makes me appreciate my F trigger and all those alternate positions...
What's the name of the piece, and who played on the recording?
The song's called "Children, go where I send thee". I don't know the Artist/group, arranger, composer, or anything else (yet). I've got most of the notes and can play the rhythym so-so, but putting the combination in NWC (and getting it to sound the same) is painful.
That's why I was looking to reverse-engineer the cut.
I know I've searched on this topic before, but came up short.
For the church orchestra we have a CD with our Christmas music on it. Eventually (Sept/Oct) we'll be given the sheet music, but inevitably it doesn't have any of the 'improved' solos on it.
There's a 12 second/4 measure trombone solo that I'd like to get the notes and rhythym.
I've tried some freeware/shareware programs for converting, but the one's I've tried didn't work or were so 'crippled' that I couldn't use them.
Q1. What is the most cost-effective way to convert WAV to NWC? Q2. If you've got the capability/software, would you do this for me?
Honestly, I'd like to be able to do it myself, so that would be my first choice.
