thanks. I am using NCW 2 but didn't know about scripting functions - so thanks for the info.
david: good tip about putting the tempo markings above the staff - a lot easier to read. It didn't occur to me that I could put them up there (and didn't realize I could reposition with shift-ctr-uparrow).
I'm new to noteworthy so I apologize if this is pretty basic: I was able to change the tempo by (as you suggested) changing it for one measure and then cutting/pasting that measure repeatedly. From your last message, and a few others I've seen posted, there is clearly some kind of scripting language that NWC uses. In a brief review of the NWC help text, I had trouble locating where in the program I'd insert instructions like the ones you wrote - and didn't see info on how to create such scripts. Did you learn how to do this by using the help text that came with the program or is there some other reference (ie. book?) that I could buy. If it's in the help text, could you point me to the correct section? What command on the program menu gets me to a place where I'd enter such a script - is it "user tool"?
After I downloaded the song below from the scriptorium I inserted a tempo to try to slow it down. However, regardless of what I set the tempo to, the playback speed doesn't change. Any of the gurus out there know what the problem is?
I'm interested in having some sheet music entered into Noteworthy composer so that I can play it back on my computer - making it easier/faster for me to learn the song.
In the past, I used a trial version of Finale to scan music in - but there were so many errors that it really didn't save time over manual entry.
So here's what I'm interested in (or if you've got a better idea, I'd love to hear it):
1. I fax you the sheet music (theoretically could scan and e-mail but a little more work for me) 2. You put the song into noteworthy 3. You e-mail file to me 4. I mail you a check.
I'm not looking to put Rachmaninoff in there; first songs are Beatles songs (for piano): 4-5 pages.
You'd need to be proficient w/Noteworthy: ties, chords with notes of different duration, etc.
How much would I pay you? You tell me. I'm hoping that I hear back from several interested people who can tell me (a) how familiar they are w/the software and (b) how much they want to charge me. Then I'll pick someone.
If you're interested, or have thoughts, please send me e-mail: adam@medjet.net
