General Discussion / Re: Icon appearance
Ciao Maurizio,
the transition from W10 to W11 created many problems for me and not just for NWC. What I mentioned in the forum is of minimal importance, we will get used to the "celestial" icons. I confess that if I had known I would have stayed with W10.

(During the various manipulations on the programs, I also reinstalled Musescore (v. 4) and attracted by the graphics I tried it. Very rich, almost too rich! After a few days I returned as a "prodigal son" to the good old NWC with the blue icons!!!)

General Discussion / Re: Icon appearance
I tried in the file properties, there is no possibility to change the icon. It would be possible to change the program icon, but that is already with the "black" appearance. Let's keep the blue for the files!
Thanks anyway.

General Discussion / Icon appearance
Good morning friends,
In your opinion, is there any valid reason why after switching to Windows 11 the nwc file icons went from "black" to "blue" appearance?
Thank you.

   There are 3 execution modes : 'Modify', 'Show' and 'Help'. 'Modify' is the normal mode, 'Show' shows the generated output in stdout (without modifying your file), 'Help' shows the Helptext.

Lorenzo, come vedi sei in compagnia!  :))

Beccata per caso questa discussione! In compagnia, sì, ma senza capirci nulla. E poi ho sempre paura di creare problemi al PC (appena rinnovato e non del tutto funzionale) e me ne sto tranquillo. Ciao.

General Discussion / NWC code
Hello everyone,
in the afternoon I picked up my PC from the repairman. The operating system had cracked with the latest W10 update. Full reset and installed W11, which I need to familiarize myself with.
But I can't find the way to enter the registration codes up to v. 2.75a, the one I had before the crack. I bought for the first time in 2002, I updated in 2010 and 2014, always paying.
For the v. 2.75a the update was free.
I wrote to NWC, no reply.
Anyone have suggestions?
I am also willing to repurchase, but having already paid...
Thank you.

General Discussion / Re: MIDI files
There is some strange reason!!!
With Microsoft GS... it works. I confess that I am groping in the dark, blindly following your instructions.
But in NWC ---> Tools ---> MIDI in the right window (Device used by play back) I have to leave only Microsoft GS... leaving CoolMIDI... and VirtualMIDI... in the left window (Available play device ), otherwise the NWC play becomes silent as well.
Anyway thanks!

General Discussion / Re: MIDI files
I'm forced to resume this discussion because again the MIDI files in WMP are opened (not in VLC, where the above error message appears) but cannot be heard. If I want to listen to the MIDI files created with NWC (export...) I must first convert them to MP3. I don't want the problem to be precisely in the "export...".
I loaded CoolSoftMIDImapper and VirtualMIDIShynth, downloaded from the link suggested by Lawrie. For me it is a very difficult subject!
I repeat that in NWC I hear very well, other audio files (e.g. recordings of my harmonica playing) with GoldWave also very well.
The problem is MIDI.
Thanks for the help and pointers.
Lorenzo

PS: here in northern Italy, 3 pm, very hot and muggy.

General Discussion / Re: Chords with opposite tied
Thanks Mike!
I didn't stop! By dint of trying and trying again, I discovered that the first note of the chord must be inserted (both a semibreve and a minima and a semiminima, etc.), giving the sign (/) but without adding the tied note. Then the second note of the chord must be inserted, in the same way. The two ties have opposite directions. Then the two tied notes are entered.
I will consider and and test with your suggestions in mind.
Good day.
Lorenzo

General Discussion / Chords with opposite tied
Good evening to you,
explain to me why in the first measure I managed - completely by chance - to give opposite directions to the tieds on two notes of a chord. In the third measure I can't get the same result.
In general, how is it possible to give opposite directions to the tieds of the notes of a chord, even more notes? Does it depend on the direction of the stems? And when these aren't there (e.g. semibreve)?
Thank you.

Tips & Tricks / Re: smaller notes
Here is the full score.
It is a spiritual with voice and piano. I've highlighted the affected parts, plus another piece with weird (for me) noteheads.
Thank you.

Tips & Tricks / smaller notes
In the piano score that I'm transcribing I came across these smaller notes in a few measures. I ask:
1. what are they
2. how they can be transcribed respecting the different dimensions
Wishing you a good night/evening/morning, thank you.

General Discussion / Zoom levels
I ask if the value of the zoom levels after the first one (2, 3 and 4) in the print preview can be changed.
I would like them a little lower.
Thank you and a good day to you all.

General Discussion / Re: two problems
I thought worse!  I'll check the support tomorrow but I think I already figured out the mistake with your suggestions.  For the stave jump I had to study the two example files very well.  Always many thanks to you.

General Discussion / Re: two problems
After a few hours of work this is what I managed to combine. Tell me what's right and what's wrong.
Thanks, good evening.

Thank you all.  After grandpa's morning activity I'll try to put your suggestions into practice.  Lorenzo

General Discussion / two problems
Good morning,
in my simple scores I have never come across the two problems I propose.
1) passage from one stave to another
2) oblique line from one stave to another.
For the second one I tried with a simple text, is there any other solution?
I haven't solved the first problem.
Thank you.

General Discussion / Re: beat repetition
Hi Lawrie,
I'd like to close this two-way conversation.
I downloaded the program from the second attachment and installed it.
But now, where do I get the graphics to use them in NWC?
Excuse my ignorance!
Thanks again and happy Sunday.
Lorenzo

General Discussion / Re: beat repetition
Could this be okay?
I spaced out the invisible notes and then placed the text mark in the best position, in the middle of the bar.
Lorenzo

General Discussion / Re: beat repetition
Very well, thank you.
I will calmly review all attachments.
For now I've entered all the repeated notes. Of course, this way the score is rather "heavy".
Cordial greetings.

General Discussion / beat repetition
 Good morning to you,
I wonder if it is possible to use the beat repetition sign (.//.) both graphically and functionally.
I enclose the piece of the score that presents it to me.
Thank you.

General Discussion / Re: Contacting Support
Hi, I changed PC last August. The seller passed all the data from the old PC to the new one, including NWC, which worked out of the box like on the old one. But don't ask me how it was done!
Instead I'm interested in knowing this. I have the initial CD, ordered in June 2002. If I had to start over with this, would the various updates be available?
Thank you.

General Discussion / MIDI files
Good morning,
I'd like to point out a problem of mine that has nothing to do with the topics dealt with in the forum but for me it is important and... I know that you are very helpful and I am perfectly ignorant.
My PC hasn't played MIDI files for a few weeks now. I usually use Windows Media Player. The MIDI file progresses but nothing is heard. I opened them with VLC media player and this message appeared:
MIDI Synthesizer is not configured:
A sound font (.SF2) file is required for MIDI synthesis.
Install a soundfont and configure it from the VLC settings (Input / Encoders > Audio encoder > FluidSynth).
Greetings to everyone.

Great, done!
Many thanks, Lawrie.
I couldn't have done it without your step by step guide.
Good morning!

General Discussion / Duplet
Good morning,
I have to insert the duplet in two places. How can I do? I saw that there is a plugin but I am not able to use it. I downloaded it but who knows where it went. Can you give me clear instructions on how to insert this particular function into my score?
Thank you.
Lorenzo

General Discussion / Re: Changing the key signature
Listening as a former chorister, unfortunately no longer in business, it's really nice to hear these "tricks" of the trade. Well done and some as usual always available!

Tips & Tricks / Re: Slurs or ties direction
(In the preparation of my message I had written: "There is a solution: select everything and give the desired direction to the slurs in the "notes" field". Then I deleted this part  :)) ).
I wish I could do this BEFORE, i.e. set the direction of the slurs (ties) independently of the direction of the stems. Eg: if I write the bass part, stems down and slurs/ties down too. Am I asking too much? The solution you proposed (and which I still use) remains valid, even if it is a bit more laborious.
Furthermore, sometimes the slurs (only the slurs...) thus obtained have a horrible appearance, they look like bird traps...
With patience you have to use the markers to accommodate them!
Anyway thanks.
Lorenzo

Tips & Tricks / Slurs or ties direction
Good morning,
in my scores the direction of the stem of the notes is always this: first tenors "up", second tenors "down", baritones and basses equally. Here's my question.
When it comes to inserting ties or slurs, is it possible to give the "up" or "down" direction BEFORE inserting the slurs or ties and for the entire length of the score? In other words, is it possible to set the direction of slurs or ties INDEPENDENTLY of the direction of note stems?
Thanks to you.
Lorenzo

General Discussion / Re: staves with different time signatures
I do not want and above all I am not able to enter into the merits of the discussion on the subject I have raised. But to show you that "I've done my homework" I am attaching my nwc file and the original score, once again my thanks.
Good evening.
Lorenzo

General Discussion / Re: staves with different time signatures
Thanks to both of you. I really wouldn't have thought of the triplet solution, but let's face it... my musical culture doesn't go that far.
I will calmly and patiently apply your instructions. There are few measures to arrange with class!
Thanks again and good evening.

General Discussion / staves with different time signatures
Good morning to you.
I came across a score in which at one point the tenor staff and the bass staff have different time signatures. I am attaching the score for greater clarity.
In bars 6 to 9, 15 to 18 and 24 to 27 the tenors and basses have different time signatures.
I solved it "roughly", by inserting fake notes (mute, without text and not visible) that filled the spaces created by the different time signatures. I put the code of the various parts.
I'm wondering if there's a more elegant way to approach this.
Thank you.
Lorenzo

General Discussion / Re: Final variant
Quote from: Opagust –
Maybe you can try to place  "variant ad libitum" where you want it with the markup composer too?
I tried and tried with markup composer, nothing to do, also the terrible "gap" area gets messed up. The solution proposed by Mike (thanks again!) is simple and effective.
A grateful Lorenzo.
49
General Discussion / Re: Final variant
Here are the results
res. 1. from staves
res. 2. from the print preview
I couldn't get the wording "variant ad libitum" to stay more to the left, even if I inserted it in two lines. That is land of the gap and woe to penetrate it!
Well so too! I worked with Opagust's markup composer (thanks!) to create the copy/paste and then in the properties for later, small adjustments.
Grazie!
Lorenzo

General Discussion / Re: Final variant
Thanks Lawrie,
I assumed that the solution was in the "gap" and I had also tried, without result. Now that I know that the way is certain, and moreover with your suggestion links, I will try again, also adding the dashed lines of connection.
Good Sunday to you!
Lorenzo
