General Discussion / Transposing
I Am trying to transpose a piece of music from C for an Eb instrument  ? I wrote the first staff in C then added a new staff and copied the first staff to the 2nd staff to transpose One problem is when I play both staffs in C I get 2 different tones even though they are in the same key.. when I transpose the 2nd staff to "A" it comes up with 3 sharp but at the lower tone of the 2nd staff What am I doing wrong

General Discussion / deleted music
Is there a way to have a deleted piece of music to be sent to the recycling bin instead of just disappearing.  Having accidently deteted a part of a score it would be nice if it could be restored                 Rik B

General Discussion / Re: disabling the color change key shorcut?
Quote from: Lawrie Pardy –
There was quite a lot of work and discussion some time back when it was being implemented.  IIRC particularly for those who write for bells.

I imagine it is also a very good tool to have for teaching small children.


Maybe the bell ringers would find the shortcut and the teaching of children useful but I would guess that the number of users that      are more inconvienced far exceeds the number of bell ringers or students. The feature would still be available for those who use it
  I also type in notes by sound and have to delete more than a few and start over

General Discussion / Why Noteworthy

General Discussion / Re: Why do you use Noteworthy?
After having a stroke in 1998 I needed something for therapy and decided to learn to play an instrument for both dexterity and memory improvement. After 3 years of lessons my teacher got me involved in an orchestra made up of senior citizens

I couldn't read the old scores and someone suggested NWC so I started doing over the parts so I could read them easier.
Shortly after other members asked if I would do over their parts also The the director asked if I could seperate a piano score for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Violins etc .

Since I started I must avve 300 to 400 parts in my computer. This evening I just finished a 3 part Trombone piece
My musical background was as a vocalist

General Discussion / noteworthy player
Although I havn't user it in quite awhile I cannot seem to find noteworthy player. Is it a thing of the past and has something replaced it?      Rik

General Discussion / Re: Printing title of song
I agree that while having the song title appear on every page it does bring up the problem of instrument identification which is often necessary. for example '1st Violin pg2- 2nd violin pg 2- 3rd violin pg 2 Etc. which would require a text entry so adding the title is just another step

General Discussion / note colors
Is there a way to "lock" the default color of notes. When I accidently change the color it is rather a pain toget it back to default?
                                                                           Thanx   Rik

Version 1.75 Discussion / SEPERATING A FILE
One of my noteworthy folders contains over 700 songs with parts saved alphabetically. I would like to devide it into 2 files/folders A-l and M-Z.
Does anyone know a shortcut or way doing this besides deleting one song at a time ? Highlighting by groups does'nt work
                           Thanx

General Discussion / initiating new topic
First of all Thank You David for answering my question and again I apologise for cutting in on another persons topic.


My question is:
Whenever I bring up music which I entered into NWC and make a change in the score I receive a message that the piece was written on an older version of NWC and may not be playable after it is saved even though it was entered using NWC 2 which i have been using for a long time. Thanx Rik
