Today I was confronted with the same question. Rick G.'s reply is a nice idea, so I adjusted it and got it working. To get the required result: During the refrain, the verses bar should have rests. Before these rests, Insert a Boundary Change to Start a collapsible section. As a result, the verses bar collapses, and thus will use no space.
So I found the portamente, but there seems to be no way to extend it over more than one measure, i.e. have it start in bar 1 and end in bar 3. The only way I found to do that is remove barlines and increase the note length of the first note. I need first note in bar 1, then an empty bar (only showing the portamente line) and second note in bar 3. Is there any way to accomplish this?
P.S. If I should have started a new topic, please let me know.
Today I found time to look at the responses and see if I could play around with the offered solutions. I took me some time before I found the Insert/Object... menu item to insert the Glissando object, but I think this is useful for what I need. The Chromatic/Black Keys/White Keys playback options can be usefull too.
I'm looking for a way to make portamente audible in NWC. For instance go from a note one octave up by smoothly increasing the frequency. I found no info in the NWC-help database, nor on the forum.
Thank you for this nice workaround using multiple endings and layering. One question though: the repeat indicator that I had between bar 2 and 3 in my original song is gone. (How) Can I enter it so it will show up on a print?
Please see attached file 2-verses-with-repeated-part.nwc The music of this song plays correct. The text part of the two verses of this song should play
This is the first verse This is part one of an ex-tra re-pe-ti-tion This is part two of an ex-tra re-pe-ti-tion
This is the se-cond verse This is part one of an ex-tra re-pe-ti-tion This is part two of an ex-tra re-pe-ti-tion
However, it plays (and also puts text incorrectly in a MIDI file) as
This is the first verse This is part one of an ex-tra re-pe-ti-tion This is part two of an ex-tra re-pe-ti-tion
This is the se-cond verse This is part two of an ex-tra re-pe-ti-tion This is part two of an ex-tra re-pe-ti-tion
How can I get it to play the song (i.e. show the correct text lines) as intended?
