General Discussion / Installing Inkpen2.TIFF fonts
I've searched hi and low on how to install the inkpen2 fonts so I can make chord symbols appear a tad more professional.
I can't seem to find anything on this.  Thing is, years ago, when I was using Noteworthy on some way earlier version, ( when the forum was on Usenet )  I remember using the font and I forgot how I installed it.

I have the fonts in my windows folder, and I have them in the noteworthy composer (2.75) fonts folder.

When I go to (from an anchored text )  Notation Properties>Display Fonts>

 then my font isn't appearing in the display font drop down box.

What am I doing wrong?

**************************************

Nevermind, folks, I figured it out.   It was Inkpen Chords, not inkpen2  and it's done via the Page Setup tab, where all the fonts show up, and you just assign the InkpenChords fonts to USER 1, 11pt, etc.  ( whatever you want ).   and then, from
 Notation Properties>Display Fonts> select USER 1 in the drop down box, and your assigned font to that value will appear on the music page.   Sheesh, this is far more complicated than, say, Band In a Box.

General Discussion / It's 2021 and NWC still lacks one obvious feature?
Hi all.

I don't know if anyone remembers me,  but I was on this forum when it was on Usenet,  back around the years 2000 - 2001 -ish, maybe later, I forget.   

Now then,  I just purchased the latest version, 2.75a.2  and a problem I had back then seems to stlll exist.  I'm only interested in doing lead sheets, mostly,  sometimes piano/vocal scores, but that's about it.  Now then, I input the chord symbols above the staff, and I noticed that should I decide to change the key of the song, well, that's easy enough,  but the chord symbols do not change. 

Is their any fix for this,  or am I missing something,  a feature in the app that does it now that I missed?    Reinputting all those chords is such a chore.  I tried searching for this, and just see others registering the same complaint.
