NoteWorthy Composer Forum

F.Y.I. If you do an audit bar lines, the arpeggio mark (i.e. object) of the first chord in a bar goes at the end the previous measure. 

I discovered that the dynamic variances are ignored by tremolo object.
Don't worry, I know a workaround.
That's just for your information.

One concern, Eric: you might consider keeping the old domain name registered for a while. The situation is otherwise ripe for phishers.

there is some more.
Look at the second staff at bar 47 of the score I attached here:
https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=9345.msg66724
There the 8va line is sometimes shown and sometimes not depending on the editor position.

I just started using Slur.ms created by Mike Shawaluk. I must say that I like the functionality of this plugin. I am however having a problem when I try to print my project. When a staff carries over to the next line on the printed page, the slur ends abruptly at the end of the line instead of carrying over to the next line. This doesn't happen when I use the NWC ; slur. Am I using slur.ms wrong or improperly or have I missed a setting somewhere? I've tried a few different things but without success.

I just saw this:

Quote from: Richard Woodroffe – 10 years ago

... Being able to make the Noteworthy slur invisible and then adding a "Slur.ms slur"  gives the best of all options for shaping, style, playback and lyric control.

I do not know a way to "make the Noteworthy slur invisible" - how would that work?
Thanks!

Hi Mike, all -

what is the "best practice" regarding long slurs that possibly/probably/certainly will go over (automatic) line breaks?

The (IMHO) greatest feature of NWC is that one does in general nothing to get acceptable line breaks. This is a wonderful thing that makes work much easier for many typical "internal use scores". NWC's slurs work nicely over such automatic line and page breaks - the slur plugin, as far as I can see, does not (yet?) support continuing of slurs after a break. I would not want to add new slur objects exactly at (after) each break, especially as I usually create different printouts from one score with different breaks. Is there something I'm supposed to do instead?

And it's not "backward compatible". Old scores need to be filled with markers to be like they used to be.

I am not seeing what this has to do with Markers or why anyone would describe them as "terrible."

I want to create a song which has a note in verse #1 contains 1 syllable and in verse #2 contains 2 syllables (two notes of a half duration).
The notes should be slurred "eventually", but I do not know how to do that.
Who can help me?

(my apologize for the bad explanation).

Is there any way to make the measure numbers in Noteworthy show up in the free Noteworthy Player?  It would be helpful when you are trying to communicate info about certain measures to not have to count them out.  You could scroll right to the measure(s) in question.

This is one of the quirks I don't like of objects,
It goes along with the need to mute the "official" notes in an arpeggio but not the subsequent tied chords…
I regularly forget something.

The timing is established by the rests!
I forgot that.
Thank you.

Alternatively, is there a way to hide the triplet marks in a score? ...

Ok, I'll try to explain better.
Take a look at the attached score.

When I print the single parts, hiding what's not needed, at the bottom of the pages, except the first one, I get "Harp 1" or "Harp 2" or...
When I print the conductor score I get 4 overprinted titles and page numbers and, and this is the big hurdle, all the staff labels overlapped.
Just to be clear: mi intent is to have none in this case!

With reference to what I explained in this trick, I have a problem.
In the conductor score you have all the instruments at once, so it makes no sense to add the StaffLabel of just a staff (the last one, I discovered) in the page text.

Of course you can temporarily remove the StaffLabel object when you need to print the conductor score, but you must have one object for each staff for printing the single parts so the thing becomes easily tedious.

Any idea?

Just use GlobalMod with:

Code: [Select · Download]

User:TremoloSingle.ms Class=

Yeah, I appreciate it is the default, but it doesn't hurt to have both "belt and braces" sometimes which was my thought.

What benefit could there be in setting this object to StaffSig?

Hi Mike,
I had a look into the code for TremoloSingle AND PageTxtMaestro  to see if I could find any instance of setting the class.

I found nothing in TremoloSingle, BUT in PageTxtMaestro I found this function:

Code: [Select · Download]

local function obj_create(t)
 t.Class = 'StaffSig'
end

It seems to me that if you added a similar function but set to 'Standard' instead of 'StaffSig' you could at least force a default that makes sense.  That way it should be possible to make it less likely that the Class would be incorrectly set.

Ideally it would be good if the dialogue box 'Class' option could also be disabled.

Hello again,

Please check your personal messages.

I can share the full nwc file with you if you promise not to share it with anyone else. Is there a way to share files through the forum?

Thanks again

I'm sorry Eric, I just haven't figured out the syntax.  How do I define the variable in the Comments area?

I tried things like:
TotalPages=2
TotalPages 2
%TotalPages%=2
TotalPages,2
TotalPages==2
TotalPages="2"
TotalPages "2"
%TotalPages%="2"
TotalPages,"2"
TotalPages=="2"

Thanks for your reply. Please see the excerpts below. The first one shows a random tremolo in NWC score, where I put no object in front of it. The second screenshot shows a place where no tremolo, and no object, appears in the NWC score, but the print preview nonetheless shows a tremolo, again in the viola line.

I don't think I selected staff sig anywhere, but I'll have to go through my score and inspect each tremolo to find out.

Thanks again

I've been editing some of my scores using version 2.75's new featured plugin objects. By and large, they are wonderful additions to the program. However, one peculiar thing has been happening after I started replacing a lot of string repeated notes with tremolos: the single note tremolo sign started showing up in unexpected places in the score, with no "object" preceding the notes it was affecting. Has anyone had this problem? If so, is there a way to fix it? It seems like a possible bug with the plugin.

Thanks,

If the chord member you want to put a tie on already exists then you must remove it: position the cursor immediately after the chord member and in the same vertical position, press <Ctrl+Backspace>, press the slash </> then press <Ctrl+Enter> (make sure the duration of the chord member to be added is correct - normally the same as the other chord members).

I want to add a slur on the top and bottom notes between 2 chords. How do I do that?
 Thank you for helping beforehand!

Silly question, but does anyone have a larger version of the new icon file?  I installed on my Mac (via Wine) and the icon looks really bad on Launchpad

Newcomer here.
I recently downloaded an SATB  score on which the piano and tempo staves are hidden. I opened the Score Review but how can I delete the 'Y' in the 'Hide' column in order to show these staves as well ?
Thank you.

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a way to take a group of notes and change them in a way that would make the notes sound more realistic - in terms of the "spacing" or timing between notes.

Currently, if I were to just put 8 of the same 1/8 notes in a row, it sounds dull and robotic - I am trying to get a more "human" feel to the notes, without actually playing any instruments myself (because I am not very good at that.)

I am trying to attain a realistic sound overall, and by exporting the MIDIs to SynthFont I can get pretty close with most instruments, but no matter what VSTs or whatever I use on the guitar tracks, repeated notes just don't sound good.

Any suggestions or what I can do inside the notation or as a VST or something similar after the fact would be very much appreciated.

Is there some way to turn off the automatic update check? Otherwise, when your web server is down, I get an error notice every time I start NWC.

I am sorry for the double post.
I searched for the keyword "paranthesis", but did not find these topic.

In my music score I sometimes see a flat (or sharp) accidental sign between paranthesis - I think it's optional to play a flat/sharp tone or not.
How do I set this in Noteworthy?

Guido van Harten
