General Discussion / Non-standard key signature (incl. micro-tones) repeating on each line.
I'm trying to enter a non-standard key signature, which looks like Eb major (Bb, Eb, Ab), but the Eb has a diagonal stroke through it (representing a half-flat). I am using Ertugrul's font to give me the half-flat symbol.

How do I get my user-defined key signature to appear at the beginning of every line?

I can't seem to find any option or combination that will do this. I am not keen to force line breaks and manual stick the key signature in after every forced line-break. That is the only kluge that occurs to me.

Any advice warmly welcomed!

General Discussion / Change frequency of note throughout score
How do I change the frequency of a note throughout the score?
I am transferring music written in Byzantine psaltiki (neumes) into Western and would like the score to sound correct when saved as a MIDI or played through NoteWorthy Composer.

In the example I am looking at now, I am working in the Soft Chromatic scale on Di (Tone 4).
I need to set E (the E above Middle C) to 323.34159 Hz (instead of 329.6275569 Hz), the A-flat to 423.37849 Hz (instead of 415.3046976), etc. There are about 6 notes, for which I need to change tuning. There are about 8 notes, for which the tuning is the same as the Western concert pitch (i.e., A above Middle C at 440 Hz).

I thought this was done with multi-point controller commands, but these changes appear to be only temporary.

Is this possible?

General Discussion / Playing back slurred notes as one.
Is there any way to get slurred notes (same pitch) to play back (in MIDI) as one extended note--as you would do on an instrument?

I'm training a choir and we have no instruments with us, so I'm playing back the MIDI on my phone to teach them the new tune, then we sing following the music a capella.

General Discussion / Arabic text in lyrics?
Has anyone succeeded in placing Arabic text in the lyrics of NoteWorthy Composer?

I saw a hint about using a different Times New Roman font, but installing this font and writing in Arabic, did not seem to work. I have just a line of question marks in my lyrics. (Although when I type the Arabic text into the Lyrics text box it appears correctly.)

This text is an example of Arabic, if that helps: "اهلاً وسهلاً".
