General Discussion / Easier Shape Note Entry?
I am glad that Noteworthy 2.5 supports shape notes, as I often need them for certain groups. But the approach seems rather klunky (assuming I am understanding it correctly), having to select a note-head for each note entered. I would like an automated or semi-automated means of specifying the shape based on the key and staff position. From looking at .ncwtxt files, it appears that the shape is indicated by a suffix (a-h) on the position parameter, so presumably it wouldn't be too difficult to post-process a normal "round-note" score and convert to shape notes based on key and staff position (not difficult for someone else, I mean!). Does anyone know of an easier approach to using shape notes within Noteworthy? I also use another notation program that has automated support for shape notes, but I prefer using Noteworthy when possible. Thanks.
