General Discussion / Updated nwc-conv for 2.75 with UTF8 support?
Hi, I'm using nwc-conv to  convert nwctxt-files to midi, but with the 2.75 upgrade and UTF8 support in NWC, the nwc-conv tool doesn't seem to have been updated (the file version is 2.5). When I generate midi files, any non-ascii character gets garbled.

Is there an updated nwc-conv with UTF8 support to get hold of anywhere?

Best regards, Jonas

General Discussion / Need help dechipher notes
Hi

My choir is rehersing a piece with hand written notes, and there is one passage that we just can't figure out (see attached file). The rest is written in 4/4 but this bar has 6 half notes in it, and a weird notation for something that looks like triplets, but uses a "2" instead of a "3". Does anyone in this forum have a clue what this notation means?

Best regards, Jonas

General Discussion / Invalid midi files when notes are muted
Hi

In the attached (small) nwc-file (edited with 2.1) the last three notes are tied, but the last two (of these) are muted. This sounds correct when played in nwc, but when it is exported to midi, my midi-app complains:

> NOTEON without NOTEOFF: Track=2 EvNr=14 When=768 (Bar=2) Note=74 (D6)

The attached file is just a stripped down version of a larger file ofcourse, but will be enough to show the problem. I'm using Synthfont (http://www.synthfont.com/) to process the midi-files. I was nota flawed midi-file is attached as well.

best regards, Jonas Högström

General Discussion / installing v2.1
I just reinstalled my machine with windows 7, and now when I tried to reinstall nwc2.1, it seems I'm stuck... I have the original CD for 1.75c, and I have the upgrade file for 2.1. The problem is that the upgrade file requires 2.0 to be installed, and I can't seem to find my installation file for 2.0 anywhere.

What is the procedure to install 2.1 if you only have the 1.75c installation media?

I have another machine with 2.1 installed, and the recently reinstalled machine also had 2.1 before I wiped it. Can the 2.0 upgrade file be downloaded somewhere?

In my download-list in firefox, I found a reference to a file called "setup_nwc2_nwc175cd.exe". That looks just like the thing I'm looking fore but it is no longer on my harddrive :(

General Discussion / command line tool (nwc-conv) in 2.1
I just downloaded and installed nwc2.1. When I try the command line tool "nwc-conv.exe", it seems that it must be executed from the same directory as the exe-file. If not I keep getting the following error:

Error: The input format Files is not recognized.

WHen correct paths have been provided, the command line tool simply starts the gui-version of the tool, but no file is generated. DId I do something wrong?

Version 1.75 Discussion / bug with tied notes over bar lines in 1.75c
Hi,

I have found a bug when a tied note with a # ties over a bar-line. If the staff is using an instrument that can play very long notes (such as Cello), the note doesn't stop if it is followed by a pause.


I have attached a sample of this bug. If loaded in nwc 1.75c, the note will keep playing until the next note (or in the case of the third sample staff in the attachment, it will not even stop after another note is played).

When loaded in nwc 2.0, it plays just fine, but my problem is that I need to convert the files to midi in a batch-operation, so I have to use the nwc2mid converter from 1.75.

Is there any chance of either an updated version of nwc2mid for 1.75, a new version of it for 2.x or a command line switch for nwc2 to generate a midi-file from command line?

General Discussion / Export multiple midi files, one for each staff
Hi

I would like to suggest a new feature. In our choir, we type in all music in Noteworthy for studying purposes, but since not all are in front of their computer all day like me, they would prefer mp3-files. I know it is possible to save a noteworthy file as midi, convert it to wav and then to mp3...

What I would like is the ability to export the same .nws file into multiple midi-files, one for each staff where one staff is set to max volume, and the others to a lower volume, or perhaps the main staff panned to the right, and the other staffs to the left so it is easier to hear your own. I can then probably find some tool to batch-convert these staffs to mp3 and upload them to the web server of my choir...

Automatic conversion to wav or even directly to mp3 would of course sweeten the deal :-)

Any chance this could be implemented in NW2?
