General Discussion / Working well! Re: NWC MIDI sound on Ubuntu 20.04 ?
- Installed default Ubuntu-native non-snap non-development wine. This is wine 5.0, which according to winehq is a lot older than they like, but I wanted to run using minimum changes to the distro for now.
- Install NWC with Wine.
- Try running NWC. No sound.
- Opened the MIDI options (Tool > Options > MIDI), selected the single available playback device "Midi Through Port-0". No sound.
- Installed Timidity with 'apt install timidity'. It automatically set up to run using ~/.config/autostart/timidity.desktop . Rebooted.
- Ran NWC. No sound.
- Opened the MIDI options (Tool > Options > MIDI), added the rest of the available playback devices, "TiMidity - TiMidity port 0" through port 3. No sound.
- Edited ~/.config/autostart/timidity.desktop . Third line was "Exec=timidity -iA". Changed it to "Exec=timidity -iA -Os". Logged off and logged on
- Used apt to install the OSS wrapper for ALSA, package "alsa-oss".
- Started NWC and loaded a score. No sound.
- Opened the MIDI options (Tool > Options > MIDI), de-selected the playback device "Midi Through Port-0", leaving the "TiMidity" devices in place.
- Sound working very well!

I do hope and pray for a resurgence in development in NWC, there's nothing like its intuitive setup and keyboard note-entry.

General Discussion / Suddenly cannot layer staffs?
In both of the following screenshots, layering is turned on (allowed) in File / Page Setup. First, the top score is set to not layer the next:
<Image Link>
and second, the top score is set to layer the next:
<Image Link>
You'll notice the slight difference.
