General Discussion / Playback problem in Linux
I've just updated both my OS and Noteworthy. I'm currently on Linux Mint 19 and Noteworthy 2.75

There's no playback. When I check the midi tab in the Tools/Options menu, the only offer is midi through port 0 which is no good. I have Timidity installed and other software plays midi OK. I also have an external midi module with a USB interface and if I plug that in, it shows as an available device and it plays back OK.

With v2.5 the available devices window used to show both Timidity and the Wine midi mapper but neither are there now.

A plea to Linux users. How do I solve this as I really don't know what to try next.

General Discussion / NWC in Linux problems
I am using NWC2 in Wine in Ubuntu Linux (V. 8.10). It works fine most of the time but there are two problems that occur from time to time.

Firstly calling the print preview sometimes causes NWC to crash. There is no obvious pattern but it mostly seems to occur with more complex scores or files I had created previously in Windows, though even there some are fine and others crash with no obvious pattern. One thing that often works is to export the score to midi and re-import. This often removes the problem. As I have a dual boot system, I can go to Windows and work from there as a last resort.

The other problem is that after a time, NWC fails to load properly. A window will load but then just displays a black blank screen rather than the usual grey with no menus or icons loaded. It's as if the program has part loaded then not finished. I find that uninstalling and reinstalling noteworthy has worked fine so far but it's a nuisance. Again as a last resort, I can go to Windows and work from there

Although I can get round both these problems it would be nice to have them sorted
