General Discussion / Exported MIDI Malformed

2023-02-28 02:11 pm

We’ve just encountered a problem we’ve never seen before in the many years we’ve used Noteworthy.

When we export a MIDI file from the attached NWC file (SleepMyLittleOneSleep.nwc), the resulting MIDI has two problems:

1. The MIDI file is twice as long as the original NWC file.

2. The second half of the MIDI is silent (no audio).

I assume something’s wrong with the NWC file, but its appearance and playback seem completely normal.

This is a huge show stopper for us. Can anyone tell what’s wrong?

General Discussion / Ties Obscuring Notes

2022-07-09 04:11 pm

The ties in the attached score (measures 3 & 7) are overlaying and obscuring notes, making the score difficult to read.

I think it’s due to the rest chords, but I haven’t found a way to make the ties go down instead of up, or to make them arch higher/lower so they don’t obscure the notes.

Is there any way to prevent these ties from obscuring the notes?

(I already posed this question to NoteWorthy Support, but got no reply).

General Discussion / Staff Spacing Problem

2022-03-12 03:58 pm

I’ve encountered a problem with staff spacing that I’ve not seen before.

The attached score has an introduction (without lyrics) that needs much less inter-staff spacing than measures which have lyrics.

I was able to adjust the spacing so the printout looks acceptable, but in the edit mode it’s impossible to read. I came up with a workaround of temporarily adding extra spacing while editing, then removing the extra spacing before printing. But it’s incredibly awkward.

Is there a way in NWC to make the spacing look acceptable in both editing and printing modes without resorting to workarounds? Or is this just a limitation we have to accept in a non-WYSIWYG application?

General Discussion / Collapsible Staff Doesn't Work Correctly

2022-02-22 03:26 pm

I’ve spent several hours trying to collapse a staff (going from 3 staves to 2), without success.

I read the help file and examples, but still can’t make it work. I’ve sent three e-mails to the NWC support address, but have received no replies.

The score is attached. The boundary in question is at the end of the top staff. It collapses the top staff, but it also collapses the other staffs!

What am I doing wrong?

General Discussion / Tripets - Vertical Positioning

2018-10-24 07:07 pm

Is there a way to explicitly state that we want a triplet marker above (or below) the notes?

Most of the time NWC does a satisfactory job of picking the vertical offset for triplet markers. Occasionally, though, the marker overlays the lyrics, and I have to drastically increase the lyric offset, which introduces a lot of wasteful white space.

The attached score illustrates this issue.

General Discussion / Missing Measures

2015-10-31 05:31 pm

In the following score, the last 5 measures are missing from the printed version. Can anyone tell why?

General Discussion / Chord Fonts

2014-12-06 11:55 am

I need to add guitar chords to an SATB score, but the only solutions I've found require using additional fonts that don't come with NWC. Unfortunately (unless I'm missing something), I can only use one font for staff metrics, so there's no easy way achieve WYSIWYG appearance in the NWC editor when I have to mix, for example, Times New Roman with a special music font.

My other concern is that, though there seem to be free music fonts available for download, my concern is whether other people to whom I give NWC files have to download the special music fonts separately. Are "external" fonts automatically included in the resulting NWC file, or do I have to tell my visitors to download music fonts on their own? Telling thousands of Web site visitors to download additional fonts is not a practical solution.

Perhaps my techniques are dated, but the fact that such a common feature (guitar chords) is so fraught with difficulty seems to be a serious deficiency in the software, & makes me difficult for me to recommend the current version of NoteWorthy Composer to others.

General Discussion / Batch Export to Text

2014-09-13 05:21 pm

I have 10,000 or so NWC files I'd like to search for various strings (e.g., obsolete copyright notices, Web site URLs etc). I can't search the files directly because they're in some proprietary binary format (zipped?)

I was thinking of using NWCTXT, but don't find a way export files in bulk, just one at a time. I found a very old reference to the NWCINFO program, but that doesn't seem to be available any more.

Does anyone know of a utility to export an entire directory tree of NWC files to text with a single command?

General Discussion / Disappearing Staff

2014-06-21 12:57 am

I've encountered rather strange behavior where my printed score terminates after the first staff ends, even though the bottom two staffs continue. File is at http://www.hymntime.com/tch/nwc/e/a/r/Early%20Ere%20the%20Dawn%20of%20the%20Morning.nwc. Can anyone tell why this is happening?

General Discussion / Lyric Syllables Extend Past Bar Lines

2014-05-27 11:00 am

After updating to NWC version 2.51a, I notice the last lyric syllable in a measure now extends beyond the bar line. In other words, the bar line's horizontal position is before the end of the last lyric syllable in the measure. This is especially noticeable when the refrain starts, when the other lyrics extend into the refrain area, creating a very unprofessional appearance, especially in the printed score. I know I can prefix the refrain lyrics with underscores, but then the start of the refrain lyrics is no longer left aligned with the first note of the refrain.

Perhaps this is not new behavior, but I don't remember seeing it before. Is there something I'm missing here? I didn't see anything on bar line properties that would cause this. Is this a new bug?

General Discussion / Marching Through Georgia

2012-04-06 02:43 pm

Does anyone have an SATB arrangement of Marching Through Georgia, written by Henry Clay Work in 1865? I found a Gospel song by Mark Trafton (1810-1901) that uses the music (with different words) & wanted to put it on line, but can't find the music (already checked the Scriptorium). The only copies I've found on the Internet have just the melody, or just the cover page for the score.

I don't need necessarily need NWC format (though that would be great!); even a PDF or scanned image would do. Would appreciate any help!

General Discussion / Need Alphabetic/Musical font

2010-08-08 06:47 pm

I searched the community "font" threads, but didn't see any addressing the specific issue I'm facing.

I'm trying to enter scores from a Spanish language hymnal that contain what I assume are chord markings above the treble clef. For example, it has things like "Reb" and "Mib7" (where 'b' is a flat character). My problem is I can't find a font which contains both sharps/flats & letters/numbers. Surprisingly, the Times New Roman font that comes with Windows contains a sharp character (Unicode 266f), but not a flat (Unicode 266d) (at least, not that I can find). And the NWC2STDA font that NWC uses doesn't have letters.

In other words, I can't find a single font to accurately render this type of score. Anyone have any ideas?

General Discussion / Windows 7 - Dot Tool

2009-11-04 12:57 am

I just set up NWC2 on a Windows 7 machine. Though in general it runs just fine, I've noticed at least one oddity. When I press the period key, instead of toggling the "Dot" toolbar button, it now cycles through the "Dot," "Double Dot" and "no dots." It worked fine (i.e., toggled the "Dot" button on & off) in Windows XP, so I'm guessing it's due to a new keyboard driver. Has anyone else noticed this behavior, or know of a fix?
