General Discussion / Re: Traspose staff and new Key signature
Why not just put the 'blank' key signature into the templates that are provided with the program? I think that would be much easier for the programmers (who I guess are struggling with the new release right now...).

And then again: Please, read the User Guide (just search for 'transpose' and you're there). Easy.

General Discussion / Re: Comments on NoteWorthy Composer 2.75 Beta Preview 2
Thank you for finding out these things.

Although I still find the behaviour pretty confusing. I changed the dpi to 720 an got 5 zoom levels, but then at 1200 dpi I got 2(!) zoom levels, and finally at 3600 dpi I got 8 zoom levels, which is quite useful. But honestly, 3600 dpi is really a weird setting just to get a decent number of zoom levels. At least my printer cannot reach this resolution. :-o

So for the time being I think one can live with this workaround, but in the long run, the feature still needs improvement.

Thanks again and have a nice weekend.

Thank you. That's interesting, what a funny behaviour...
But the question remains, how to increase the number of zoom levels. Which printer parameter determines the number of zoom levels and how? Of course, I could try out all kinds of printer drivers until I get a satisfying result. But maybe someone could give me some hints, how to deliberately change the printer properties to get what I want.
Right now, I use a driver called PDF Creator which mimics a printer and "prints" into PDF files. I prefer creating PDF files before printing or sending my work to other people.

Thanks in advance for any help

General Discussion / Comments on NoteWorthy Composer 2.75 Beta Preview 2
I am not quite sure where to put comments on the new beta release...

I really appreciate the template folder location being customizable again. :)

Anyway, I think the print preview needs some improvement. All in all, I really like the new print preview very much. Only the the zoom levels appear somewhat inconvenient on my screen (1024x768 pixels). On the first zoom level, I can see the whole page but cannot read small fonts such as lyrics. On the other two zoom levels, however, I only see details in strong magnification.

Therefore, I would appreciate at least one more zoom level, where the page width fits the window width as in earlier versions of Noteworthy Composer.

General Discussion / Re: Song templates in 2.51
I am very astonished about the 'moderate' comments about this problem since the issue is really very annoying and the current situation is hardly acceptable. In fact, the template feature is severly damaged. You cannot save any templates because you are actuallly forced to do that into the program folder where you would not have write permission as a normal user (unless you always login as administrator, which you only would do if you like having viruses and all that stuff on your computer).

I also noticed that the drag and drop feature (for dropping templates on the template dialog window) is not working either any longer.

Actually I cannot think of any possible reason why one would implement such a backward 'development' so I really fear that this part of the source code was lost or messed up in some way and some old version of it had to be used in the current code. I really hope that the developers can fix it as soon as possible since the issue is really annoying. And I would appreciate some comment from them...
