The SIbelius notation program used to have a plugin that allowed embedding of sibelius files. Visitors needed the scorch plugin to view the scores and play those files.
Does NWC2 have something similar? Is it possible at all to embed NWC2 files in a web page in such a way that other people can view and play that file? If yes, can you provide details how to do that for HTML5? Thanks in advance. G.C.
"2) use the nearest of the available clefs, enter directly from the score and then select the entire staff and <Ctrl+Shift+Up/Dn Arrow> so the notes correspond to the clef used. The latter is the easiest, but will result in the score not exactly matching your original."
That is what I have been doing. It is not printing that I am worried about. Correct playback is imperative because I do corrective editing mostly by ear. In longer scores, that causes problems because I cannot play the music until I have shifted the staff (staves?). Corrective editing is a lot more problematic after the shift has been performed, because what I have in NWC is no longer the same as the original score and that makes it a lot more complicated.
In early music, clefs were positioned on almost every line of the stave. As far as I know, NWC2 allows the ut clef to be positioned only on the 3rd or the 4th line.
I have scores (e.g. Ave Maria - Johannes Brassart) with the soprano Ut clefs on the second line.
Is there anyway to make a custom clef for NWC2 to cover that, so I can just transcribe without having to shift everything?
An old posting, but nevertheless, maybe it can be revived. The multitude of clefs developed in the early days of printing, before page setting with indivdual symbols was invented. During those days printing was done with a single wood block for the entire page that needed to be engraved in mirror image. Carving a lot of small ledger lines was rather more difficult than carving the complete lines of the stave and wasteful in space because they could fewer staves on one page. They used clef symbols and positioned them on any of the lines of the stave to keep the notes within the stave.
