User Tools / Re: Very basic help with User Tools required, please
Hi Jonathan,
have there been any fresh initiatives to explain completely what's going on with Volume and Velocity?
Well, do you play keyboard?
Volume is the same as the keyboard volume knob, while velocity is the velocity of the key pressure, that translates directly to key pressure strength.
The volume is an attribute of the channel, the velocity is an attribute of the note, so each note can have a different velocity.
Depending on the soundfont, changing the velocity may change the timbre too, not just the sound volume. Did you try clavinet?

Did I answer the right question?

General Discussion / Re: Bar
Note: sometimes the "open" is missing. Then, when you hit the "close" go back to the beginning. Although if the piece has no "open" I think NWC would want one anyway, but you could hide it.
Nope.
NWC assumes "repeat from the beginning" or "from the latest section open or close" with the master repeat.
Always "from the beginning" for the local repeat, unless there is a "master repeat open", in which case no repeat at all.

I know because I just notated some ancient scores often with mismatched repeats.  >:(

Tips & Tricks / Re: smaller notes
H.M. you're right. I missed it was a piano score (+ voice).
It's hard to do hand clapping while playing piano!  :D
I assumed it was a choral score without thinking.

General Discussion / Re: Normalizing MIDI files
You can fiddle with Options -> Import -> Note resolution and Rest resolution, but I must admit I've never really seen much difference or, at least, not the difference I expected.
A passage through MuseScore (importing MIDI and exporting MIDI or mxml) sometimes does miracles. ;-)

Object Plugins / Re: Trill.ms (2.2)
No, Mike, I don't want the whole chord to trill!  :o  Only the top note.
At least that's what's needed by the scores for piano I have.   :)
And I doubt that, in case of a trill on a chord, someone wants the lower note trilling. In that case a more specific (and clear) notation is in order!  ::)

I feel stupid: I forgot that the chord is muted. Simply unmuting it solves the remaining problem!  :-[
Possibly there is a double key-on midi event for the top note (I didn't check), but this seems creating no problem (checked  ;) ).

What was the need to mute the note in the score? Maybe the clash between the starting note of the trill and the note of the score?
I think I can live with it (i.e. not using "auxiliary first" with chords)...  :P

Well, now I'm completely satisfied of the last (mine...) version.
Thanks a lot.

Object Plugins / Re: Trill.ms (2.2)
Gosh! I didn't expect it was so trivial to apply the fix!
About the best solution... That's a different hat.

N.B. The attached file is zipped because I'm not allowed to upload an object of somepone else, and I don't want to steal the honor from Mike.
I hope Mike will not be offended by my "instrusion" and will update the official object.

Object Plugins / Re: Trill.ms (2.2)
I stumped on a problem with the trill object.
If the trill is the upper note of a chord (no matter if the duration of the notes is the same or different) the chord don't plays at all and the trillling note is... the lowest one!

If I use the old tool that makes a trill using the grace notes I have the upper note trilling ok but also the unpleasant result of the chord playing at the end of the trill. What I need is not possible in this way. The only way is an hidden staff.

Maybe the simplest fix could be to make the trilling note the upper one instead of the lowest.
The very best would be to have the upper note trilling and the rest of the chord playing as usual.

I'll take a look if I can fix the object, but maybe Mike can do a miracle...

General Discussion / Re: Real Instrument Dynamic Velocities
Well, the problem is not NWC but your synth/soundfont.

To complicate the matter even more, the dynamic response of the synth is not standard. Every manufacturer, if not every model, has a different curve.
I have an old document comparing some instruments, but I can not attach it here because, even zipped, it's oversize.

The best would be to use a soundfont editor to level off each instrument volume of your preferred soundfont, but it's not so easy for a not techie.

The simplest solution is to use the part volume in NWC to obtain the desired voice balance.
Usually I do the local volume changes using the "expression" MPC so as to leave the "volume" free to be used as a master channel setting.

General Discussion / Re: Digital way to key in the note
Using Sharpeye and converting it to NWCTXT in many cases results in using invisible notes to try to "fix" the problems.
I hate to have objects I can't see in the editor. It's very easy to forget them and it's very annoying to have to remove them by hand.
I solved the problem with:

User Tools / Re: NWCCONVERTOR
Thank you for the detailed report and the modifications, Opagust!

Re. the 1/128 (i.e., the "fusa"), it's not an impossible time for a slow song. Beethoven and Mozart used it.
In NWC it has been surreptitiously allowed via the arpeggio and acciaccatura plugins.
The semifusa (1/256)... I never saw it!  :D
123
User Tools / Re: NWCCONVERTOR
Opagust,
I'm not sure the problem is all in your convertor, but I get various errors converting the attached file.
It was generated by MuseScore and, I know, there are some odd notes (MIDI value around 100) in channel 10.
In case you're interested to investigate...

General Discussion / Re: looks different rest sign
See the third measure, it is the 1/8 note rest symbol
No, it isn't. Look carefully. It's like a 1/8 rest symbol but seen on a mirror kept vertical.
It's a 1/4 rest.

how can I add the Bible verses on the top of the staft/part of the title.
Using PageTxtMaestro.nw and PageTxt.nw.
There are instructions for each of these plugins on their respective pages.
126
General Discussion / Re: looks different rest sign
Ha! Me too, I'm transcribing an old score and I have the same gliph for the 1/4 rest: it's the 1/8 rest mirrored. ;D
It's not the first time I see it.

Regarding the bar length, I don't see any problem.
Maybe you missed the augmentation dots?

Tips & Tricks / Re: Glissando
glissando.ms is a plugin, a.k.a. an "object".
Use: Tools -> Manage objects -> Browse online and download it.

General Discussion / Re: staves with different time signatures
If you are prepared to copy the nwctxt to a text editor, you can completely move the triplet marks to position 2000 or -2000 where they can't even be seen as grey in the editor (many people do not like this bit)
Well, that's exactly what I hate: the score behaving in a odd way without any hint in edit mode.
Another example of my pet peeves is a muted invisible note...
131
User Tools / Re: NWCCONVERTOR
A small request: allowing the drag & drop of the nwctxt file?
I'm hard to please.  :)

General Discussion / MIDI to score
A friend of mine "recorded" a piece in MIDI but completely overlooked the MIDI tempo.
It sounds right, but importing it in NWC (or elsewere, for that matter) is a complete mess.
Anyone knows a trick to simplify at least a bit the insane work of rewriting it all by hand?
138
General Discussion / Re: Single staff and double staff
Se ho capito bene il tuo problema, la risposta è sì.
Al più, ai puristi potrebbe non piacere del tutto l'ultima nota della battuta 7 perché la direzione dell'asta potrebbe indicare quale mano suona cosa e, cambiandola, indicheresti l'altra mano. Ma è una ultra-finezza.
Va là che la vai bene.
Ciao

General Discussion / Re: Page view
You're right, Mike. the smaller the window (not just the monitor), the more the zoom levels.
Odd that, for 4k monitor maximized, the zoom level is only one.

Many, many years ago I had to connect to a BBS (do you remember when this didn't mean Battery Balancing System :-) ) in Switzerland. The hello page said in German: "This is the first time you connect to this BBS. First, you have to select a language.
1) German
Which one do you choose?"

General Discussion / Re: utilisation de segno et coda
C'est parce-que si on fait une reprise on reprend aussi le couplet.
Pour passer au deuxième couplet is faut une rèpetition, et pout differentier les deux fois il faut le "special ending".
En plus, il faut tenir compte des peculiaritès de NWC, donc il faut ajouter des autres "special ending".
Si vous voulez avoir egalement le signe et le coda il faut le simuler avec des textes.
Regardez le fichier ici modifiè.

General Discussion / Re: Page view
I'm puzzled.
In "print preview" I have just two views. The first one is "full page", the second is ""screen wide" and, in the upper left, there is the caption "page x, zoom y/2" with y either 1 or 2, no matter which way I change the zoom.
145
General Discussion / Re: Thinking Through Flow
E.G. for each time through that an instrument is silent you have a hidden special ending for that time through that has a hidden ppp dynamic, and each time the instrument plays you have another hidden special ending that has the correct dynamic (still hidden).
A hidden ppp? Well, it's very soft but still audible.
Why not a multipoint controller with expression = 0 (and later, when you want to hear it, 127)?

Object Plugins / Re: Tremolo.ms (2.1)
Got it!
when I mark both of them and then run the Tremolo plugin's user tool
I'm not running "Tremolo.ms.nwcuser.lua". (As Harald wrote, it works fine.)
I go to .automatic, then "Make tremolo.ms"!
This runs "Make Tremolo.ms.lua" that's old and bugged.

Probably it's obsolete, but it remained in my tool list.
I suppose the same for "Make TremoloSingle.ms.lua", "Convert Text to ChordPlay.nw.lua" and "Convert Text to ChordPlay.nw.lua".
In practice, almost all that went into "AutoUserTools".
