Well, It's not very beautiful when you have two staves with slurs having the slurs cross together.
For example, I've got a violin II part ging from middle B to low D then high D and an alt part (in treble clef) staying between high D and G. Both are slurred and the slurs cross together...
Ifeel a bit frustrated when I want to make groups of instruments under NWC/NWC2 because I can't make the bars connect together.
When I give the Orchestral style for different staves, the bars get connected together between staves.
When I make a piano part, using Upper grand staff and Lower grand staff, bars gets also connected together between staves.
But when I maxe a mix - let's say for SATB, if I try to give the soprano Upper grand staff, the bass Lower grand staff, no configuration permits me to have bars connected for the Alt and Tenor staves. I think giving them Orchestral style could make bars connected upper and lower...
Under Wine, I've configured a printer which functions perfectly with NWC2.
The strange thing is, when I try to preview, I get the error message "There is no default printer. A printer must be installed before this operation can be performed".
Apart from that, when printing, the count of pages is at 65535, even if my work is only 2 pages long, but I think this is a consequence of the preceeding, no?
I've presented NWC to many colleagues but I'm always limited by the fact that it's only in english.
We, Frenchies, are not very comfortable with foreign languages and prefer having software in french.
Is it possible to work on an internationalization of NWC? If provisions are made, it could be a mutual effort. For example, with the use of the "gettext" library, you end up with a .po file which has only to be correctly translated to have 90% of the work done.
Even better, this .po file is dynamically loaded and it's then possible to manage a huge quantity of translations with a unique code...
With a .po file, I think I could translate NWC in some days...
I wonder why the last printed system can't be justified exactly as the other ones? Okay, I can check "Extend last system", but it gives me a lot of space _after_ the last note and this is not beautiful.
Do you think possible to have this last system appear exactly as what you get with a forced system break at a bar?
When I have a double repeat (a left one followed by a right one) inside a measure, the next measure number is the same as the one with the double repeat.
I just understood why at some times, NWC2 told me it was unable to save my work, whereas I didn't ask him anything. In fact, I use a nonprivileged account to compose on WindowsXP (when I'm not on Linux, of course ;-)) and therefore, I'm not authorized to write under c:\Program Files. So the autosave function fails, of course.
Perhaps using another default folder _and_ changing the error message a bit could be a nice idea ;-)
Godd day all, and all my best wishes for the coming new year!
I'm trying to use NWC2 on my Linux box with the Wine (non-)emulator.
I'm confronted with three curious problems:
- I can perfectly install NWC2, but it's then impossible to upgrade it (error during the copy of nwc2.exe) - "wings" of notes shorter than quarters are replaced by bizarre vertical rectangles, but only if not beamed - the "Tab" key is interpreted twice in dialogs (e.g. it skips two fields rather than one).
In fact, the second issue is the most important, because it prevents me from printing the music I compose.
