This object can be used to create a custom bar counter. It can be useful when embedding multiple songs into a single file.
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)
|User|BarCounter.nw|Pos:8|Class:StaffSig
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Usage:
- turn off the built-in bar counter from File, Page Setup
- add this object at the start of your file
- add new instances of this object whenever you want to reset the bar count

This generally works pretty well:

You might want to add the following line to the top of your user tool:
-- $NWCUT$CONFIG: FileText $
Also, in order to support file samples, line 651/2 can be changed to:
nwcut.writeline("File name:"..(nwcut.getprop('FileName') or ''))

Updated to allow custom key sequences:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Updated again to fix timing errors when spanning small duration intervals.

If you absolutely must have this look:
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.74974,Single)
|Note|Dur:8th,Triplet=First|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up
|RestChord|Dur:8th,Triplet|Opts:Stem=Down,ArticulationsOnStem,HideRest|Dur2:4th|Pos2:2
|Note|Dur:8th,Triplet=End|Pos:-3z|Opts:Stem=Up,StemLength=0,Muted
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Play back won't be quite right, though...

New version with strum direction and improved support for inversions. This clip is a good example of walking the bass note from C5 down to C4 within a chord progression.

There are only 16 selectors. You can work back to Selector 11 without destroying any of the built-in selectors.
You might also want to just work with your NRPN expressions, and paste them in as you need them. For example:
(Swell) Gedackt 8 stop = NRPN 40, 16256
(Swell) Gedackt 8 clear = NRPN 40, 0
(Swell) Traverse Flute stop = NRPN 63, 16256
(Swell) Traverse Flute clear = NRPN 63, 0
(Great) Diapason 8 stop = NRPN 31, 16256
(Great) Diapason 8 clear = NRPN 31, 0
(Great) Harmonic Flute stop = NRPN 40, 16256
(Great) Harmonic Flute clear = NRPN 40, 0
(Pedal) Choral Bass stop = NRPN 56, 16256
(Pedal) Choral Bass clear = NRPN 56, 0

Setting up Ubuntu 14.04 for use with NoteWorthy Composer and the NoteWorthy Composer Viewer is generally a simple task. I recommend using the terminal to install the necessary packages. If you are using an older version of NWC, then the following packages should be all that is needed to get started:
sudo apt-get install wine ttf-mscorefonts-installer gnome-exe-thumbnailer timidity
I originally tried to install Wine from the Ubuntu Software Center. This caused problems, probably due to license prompts in the mscorefonts package. If this happens to you, you might need to reinstall the mscorefonts, like so:
sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer gnome-exe-thumbnailer
NoteWorthy Composer 2.75 Requires Wine 1.7
The default Wine 1.6 stable release includes some buggy support libraries that break some aspects of NWC 2.75. In order to use newer features, such as the Tools, User Objects control panel, you will have to upgrade to Wine 1.7. Instructions can be found on the WineHQ Download page for Ubuntu.
