Tips & Tricks / Re: Tied Notes Around Other Notes
I did it this way: put in the notes to be tied, tied them, then went back and added the other notes (voices) like you would a chord note. Just be sure stems of the first voice goes one way and stems of the second voice go the other way before you insert them.

General Discussion / Re: staccato notes
ok, so once I've written a song, saved it in a midi file, do I need to listen to it in Real Audio or something similar to see if it's still the way I wrote it?

General Discussion / Re: staccato notes
Yes I played it back and it just played quarter notes with no staccato.
I would open it back up in NWC and play it then. SHould I just play it like other midi's - to just listen to without seeing the score? (do you know what I mean??) - like any midi file you might have, say on a website or something like that.

General Discussion / staccato notes
I have a motif of the staccato quarter notes. When I save to midi it removes the staccatoes. So I changed them to one sixteenth notes with appropriate rests in between. Then when I saved to mide it returns them all to quarter notes again.
Why and what can I do to save it the way i want it?

General Discussion / Re: saving to midi
I have nwc 1.70. I saved in save-as as type 1, to my floppy disk.
I can't find export. ANd when I open the file back up it will not keep the value of my notes in the opening measure. I've trying to do this now for almost 2 weeks (on my day's off). Ive successfully saved before but can't seem to do it now. I figure there's something I'm not doing or doing right.

General Discussion / Re: saving to midi
I still need someone to tell me, step by step, how to save a song to a midi file. I have written a song and saved it in a nwc. file. Now what to I do?
Nothing I try works. (Help is no help.)

Thanks John. some of your explanations help.
If I have staccatoes in quarter notes, would changing them to eighth notes with rests in between work? I tho't I would try that.

The patches are on the screen (score) in light gray. I have inserted the ones I want. When I open the midi file, it will have extra insertions of another patch indication. I don't know where they are coming from or what I might have done for them to show up.

Thanks for the explanations on the channels.

I have version 1.70 right now. Just discovered tonight when getting on the web that a newer version had come out...

General Discussion / saving to midi
I am having trouble understanding and successfully saving a song to a midi file.
1. I have some staccato notes in the opening,(of a song) and when I save to a midi it loses the staccato markings. How come?
2. Also it is putting in extra instrument patches that I don't have in the nwc version. How can I get rid of them?
3. What do "channels" mean? do they corrallate (sp?) with each staff? (1st staff=channel one?)...
4. Am I suppose to "record" first then put that into a midi file somehow?
I have a degree in music (many years ago, now)-but I don't use this very often, so I am struggling with this. All this "midi" stuff is after my time. :-)
