Files I created some time ago (with NWC version 2.51a) are displayed incompletely. In most cases the two top staffs are displayed, but not the rest. Sometimes complete bars vanish, sometimes a part of them. I can select a number of measures, then they display normal (i.e. white in blue). When I play the music I see the notes appear as they are played (and then they remain visible), but the staff lines in between the notes remain invisible. When I slowly drag another window over the NWC window, the music reappears as I should be. But then as soon as I hit [F5], they disappear again. When I make the NWC window small (displaying only 2 or tree bars) things work normal - but of course then it is quite useless. Any idea at all what might cause this? I'm not sure the problem is in NWC, for those files have been playing and displaying normally until yesterday. This happens with NWC both in editor mode and in viewer mode. And the Viewer shows the same effect. I use Win Vista. It is not lack of memory or CPU: I use only 55% of memory and about 4% of the CPU.
Thank you again. My issue is now completely solved. The step that was missing in my info was what to do with the .htaccess file.
I complained to my webhoster, telling them that 'in my opinion one should not accept a job in a helpdesk in case one feels that questions from non-expert clients are a waste of time'. And I took the liberty to point to your reaction as an example of how else they might have responded. And just ten minutes ago I got a reaction with an apology, and a one line explanation on what to do with the .htaccess file they sent with it (exactly the same content as your version from the faq of course); i.e. 'just put it in the same folder as the nwc files on the web server'). It is so simple, once you know it ...
Thank you Eric. This is most helpful. Unfortunately my hosting company does not want to change the content type for nwc files, so I probably have to follow up on your alternative solution and teach myself php. I was a programmer once (in the days of Fortran and Pascal, etc.), so I should be able to learn how to put the right php statements in my (very simple HTML3) website.
Not the question I hoped for as my first post ... I upgraded to 2.5.4 this morning (GMT+1), and after that I edited a few 2.5 nwc files which I uploaded to our website.
I can open the files from my computer, and they play fine. But when I open the files I edited with version 2.5.4 from our website, NoteWorthy Composer is not started. Instead I get a page of gibberish. It begins with: [NWZ]xÚí Ën DZz âz9˵AÆjyðÅTlÉɇ‘mäb€!—NŒÀ1¬%¹‰H\™\%J.>äää‚œ‚¹ä?ò9ĹŰ$®¸ô"Õï < œõO?†Ðóäw;?¸ ož<ÞÙ{ï觟uw>>¸}ü»Çïüdÿgð¯øßlm8:>í 'þÙùù'ðã;² àÍÛ?|3ûÓ®*4às(ÿ3ƒ&|pü ÖÞéÿ¦Ý <è€ U'v l0í¾Ç´ûS׸ººY:o!ÿBú/’Ù <<í ²ß²Ý>Àþ°wrÔ;=¢äúD¯m¿ýþ/ (...)
The older 2.5 files on the web page (which I have not changed) open as they should in NoteWorthy Composer 2.5.4, but only once. The second time I open the (unchanged) file, I get the same kind of gibberish.
This only happens when I use my standard browser IE9, in Google Chrome things work all-right. So it looks like it is browser related. I should also mention that I just tried out the new NWC-viewer before I put it on the website for my fellow choir members to use. After that I de-installed the viewer. Is it possible that this damaged my IE9 installation somehow?
Any ideas what is happening, and how I can remedy it?
