NoteWorthy Composer Forum

Hey Gust, can you please add a mechanism to the captcha on your website to allow a user to ask for a new one - half the time I can't tell which case some of the letters are and it can take multiple attempts to get in.

Hi Gust,
just discovered that anything that's on channel 10 or greater shows channel 10 in the interface.

More to the point, channels greater than 10 cannot be set in the interface.

When I muted a part on channel 12, even though it was showing channel 10 in the interface it successfully muted and remained on channel 10.

Would you like me to email you some files that failed?

Hi Gust,
I've been wondering if there's any movement here?

Instrument lines in a itree file consist of the name of the instrument and the patch number, separated by a "=" sign.
The program crashed on a line where the separator was a "-" instead of a "=".
I can eventually change the program to skip lines not containing a "=".

Significant parts of that itree include lines that have transpositions, some of which are negative.
E.G.
Acoustic Guitar (nylon)=24,Trans(-12)

Could this be the problem?

Hi Opagust,

I see :program:\itrees

Hi Gust,
done and same error...

I did a little experimenting and some of my older, and much simpler, itrees seem OK.

What kind of errors in the file should I be looking for?

FWIW I should probably simplify my itree anyway - many of the sections are no longer in use.

itree attached - it's pretty big and convoluted...

I am also getting a similar error as Lawrie.

Hi Gust,
downloaded and installed, but no joy.  Please see attached .png file for error message.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I installed it into my scripts folder, under the folder where NWC2.exe lives.  This being historically where all scripts were installed way back when... NB I have full permissions to this location.
When I created the new tool and put the full path in the "Command" field NWC decided to strip off everything except the relative parts of the path.  I.E. "Scripts\mixer_board-1.0.exe"

I'd be happy to send you the nwctxt file, but I can't figure out how to attach it to a PM. I tried pasting it into the body of the message, but the forum said it was too long to send.

SIDE COMMENT: REALLY nice to be back on the NWC forum after an absence of several years. I've been forced, against my will, to convert to Sibelius in order to share my work through a couple of different professional networks I belong to. I detest the Sibelius UI - I scream at it a lot, using language my mother would have never approved of - and would much prefer to work in NWC, but them's the breaks. Good to see the old familiar names here, and to know you all are still taking good care of what is still my favorite notation software.

PRECIPITATING PROBLEM: I'm using 2.0.01. It's throwing up an error code: see the attached file. I've searched my nwctxt file and cannot find anything at all to do with MIDI. Messed around some with my MIDI settings, both on the computer and in NWC, but the error code keeps showing up. Hoping a new version will have fixed this; otherwise, any ideas?

IMMEDIATE PROBLEM: Opagust, I'm having trouble logging into your site to download the current version of your NWCConvertor. The "NWC User" username and "Usertools" password apparently no longer work. Is there something new? Or should I try setting up a user account of my own on your site?

In all these cases of a not almost perfect layout, I first "wiggle" (increase and decrease) the staff metrics by 0.5 (in stubborn cases also by 1) to find out whether I get a quite different layout that might be easier to fine-tune.
Also, I wiggle the left and right margins by 0.1 to 0.2  for each staff metric size. Let's call these systematic experiments "wiggling".

I am busy with my grandfather function now.

If the line count is 0 you can not enter any lyric.

I know, but the check is still worthwhile.  We don't know where/when things went wrong.

May I ask for a different color combination?
Or, better, the program adapting its colors to the OS theme?

P.S. thank you for the drag & drop!

Opangust - thank you for you response - and tool.
But.... I'm so new to using tools - I don't know how to use it!
I have tried in info on here - but it hasn't helped me.
I have downloaded your file ... Can you help me use it?
Many thanks
Andy

And I have added an image that contains a few non-full-beat pickups (anacruses) from J.S.Bach's "Notenbüchlein für Anna Magdalena Bach" from 1725. There are more in there, and I also know of a number in church hymns.

a pretty good result ?

I think I'd prefer to see 4 in a bar for most of the 9/8 sections and 3 for part too, following the beaming patterns, which in this case would also mirror the piano left hand.  I'd certainly be unhappy trying to follow a conductor beating quavers at that speed.

It will be interesting to see what Opagust eventually comes up with.

You could call the tool "Metronome"   Maybe have an option to use the drum kit and MIDI channel 10 for the staff.

Like this?

I note the following for a future version 2.0.01:
- correct processing for octave-shift
- buttons beneath loggings and warnings frame 'Copy to clipboard'
- including the pencil_icon in the zip file.

isntrument

Thanks

Works well now.

Only two comments so far - that is that in the parts/staves tab, your instruction is to click the pencil icon to change the properties.
1. There is no pencil icon, but clicking  in the empty edit box allows you to change properties.
2. If the program cannot convert and xml file to nwctxt then it gives the reasons in the warnings window but it doesn't say anything else. A message that at the end of the warnings saying not converted, please exit program would be useful. Also the ability to copy the warnings window would be useful for making corrections so that another attempt can be made after trying to make corrections.

I like the loggings window,

Cheers - great job.

Absolutely a million thanks for this! - a few repair actions, and then - practice

A wish: Could NWCCONVERTOR replace rests and notes of lengths in the MusicXML which it does not understand with a "nearby length"? Examples:
....

I'd love to try your NWCConvertor, but can't register on https://www.opagust.be/user/register
I get
"403
Sorry, this page is only for people I recognize
Please introduce yourself"

One issue with the GUI: after completing a conversion and saving the file, the "Select a file to convert" button is disabled. In order to convert another file, I need to exit the converter and start it again for the button to re-enable. Dealing with multiple files to convert, it does slow things down. (Using version 1.0.7.4)

Another GUI recommendation, but minor: have an option to set a default output path, so that the save puts it there rather than defaulting to the input path. As well, currently, after changing the save path, the save destination becomes the default for the input path. Keeping them separate improves workflow.

(The conversions themselves seem really quite good so far!)

"Page" list
 1 - 'All' (default)
 2 - 'Odd'
 3 - 'Odd (except 1)'
 4 - 'Even'
