General Discussion / Re: Tina Billett
How sad to learn Tina's death!

While I disagreed privately with her about how their first transcriptions were made, I found she was a parallel soul to me. She liked to do with NWC the same as I liked to do: transcribe classical works into NWC and MIDI. Now Tina is no more with us but her transcriptions will remain.

Let me express my hommage and appreciation to her in this forum.

General Discussion / Re: Simple software to convert midi to wav
A simpler way, but nor for everyone.

First, check your sound card documentation to see if it has full-duplex capabilities.

If this is so, you only have to make your computer record the sound while at the same time your sound card plays the MIDI file. For this open Sound Recorder or similar and your play back utility. Press quickly the record button on Sound Recorder and the Play button on the play back program. At the end of the performance remember to stop your Sound Recorder.

The result will be a nice WAV file with the same sound you hear from your sound card that will be heard more or less the same on any computer, whatever sound card is installed.

General Discussion / Re: New Wishes
1.: Good. Would be a valuable addition. If Cakewalk has it, why not NWC? :-)

2a.: Very good. Most useful. It seems conceptually so simple that it is hard to believe this hasn't been implemented yet (there must be some hidden difficulties). But instead we have a clock, just very close on screen to where the system clock is.

2b.: Good as well. But I prefer 2a.

General Discussion / Re: they are not enough ut key
Thanks, Robert. But I need to correct you again. :-)

I'm Mr. Pajares, not Mr. Box. The relative importance of names in Spanish-speaking countries doesn't follow the rules common in Anglo-Saxon countries. The name after the first or Christian name comes from the father branch and, in a culture of patriarchal heritage as we are in, is the most important.

General Discussion / Re: they are not enough ut key
Ivo,

Ut (usually in France) = Do (usually in Italy and Spain) = C (usually in anglo-saxon and german countries).

In my music books, the C key can be placed in the first four staff lines, from bottom, but usually their use is restricted to the third and fourth nowadays. But in old scores you may find C keys in the first and second lines as well.

You said "No need for more..." and I ask: for what purpose? For notating an old score preserving all the connotations and aroma from its time it would be certainly welcome that NWC allow us to place C keys in odd places even if they are now obsolete or deprecated.

Well, the only thing I can say is that automatic translation is becoming better and better.

Perhaps in a decade we can trust fully in this technology. :-)

General Discussion / Re: Nouveau newsgroup
Oui, vous pouvez confier pleinement à Richard Woodroffe, qui est le webmaster du Scriptorium, le site Internet avec une plus grande collection de fichiers NWC.

Moi aussi j'ai reçu ce message, qui est en fait une bonne nouvelle pour les amateurs de NoteWorthy Composer. Ce qui m'échappe c'est pourquoi Richard a décidé cacher son serveur d'origine avec ce nowhere.com qui contribue clairement à rendre suspect son message.

Quant à la necessité du password, les propietaires de NWC ont décidé cette fois de limiter la participation dans le nouveau newsgroup aux utilisateurs registrés.

General Discussion / Re: Different Drum Kits/Sets
In other words, select "Electric Brass (finger)" instrument for the Channel 10 staff and, with luck, you should have Jazz drumkit (NWC sends MIDI change program #33).

AFAIK, the list of drumkits and instruments for Ch 10 is this:

Standard - Acoustic Grand Piano
Room - Celesta
Power - Hammond Organ
Elec - Acoustic Guitar (nylon)
Jazz - Electric Brass (finger)
Brush - Viola
Orchestra - String Ensemble 1
SFX - Trumpet.

General Discussion / Re: alquien sabe si se pueden poner barras automaticamente estoy ...
Exactamente. Como te acaba de decir Robert Lim, puedes introducir tantas notas seguidas como quieras y, después, abrir el Menu "Tools" y hacer clic en "Audit Bar Lines": las barras de compás se pondrán solas si, y sólo si, has puesto al principio del pentagrama, un medida de compás (4/4, 3/8, etc., lo que se llama en NWC "Time Signature").
