Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
Do I have to re-install all of this when the new version comes out?
Your changes will persist across an upgrade.

Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
Everything regarding the NRPNs work fine now. I am very happy. The selector you provided me "10f.nwc" works, but is long and cumbersome if I add all of the organ stops.
You might also want to just work with your NRPN expressions, and paste them in as you need them. For example:
Code: [Select · Download]
(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

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:
Code: [Select · Download]
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.

Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
The selectors are menus, so they won't have scroll bars. You can, however, force several columns to fit more objects. If you prefer, you can just e-mail the file to me, and I will review it.

1. I am running Version 2.75 Beta Preview 32 for starters.
This is probably a very large part of the problem. The plugin required Beta Preview 33 when it was originally released. It would not work on Beta Preview 32. You should have seen an error alert.
The good news, in this case, is that you get a working MIDIParm.nw object automatically when you upgrade to Preview 34.
This plugin now requires NWC 2.75 Beta Preview 34 in order to function. In the future, the User object download mechanism will detect if you are running an outdated version of NWC, and alert you accordingly.

Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
You can create and modify your own selector. Right click on any of the selectors in the Insert toolbar, then select Customize. I recommend the last selector, which is Selector 16. I created a starter Selector 16 for you, which is attached in an earlier reply.
262
Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
I would edit them into Cakewalk as follows
Channel 1 (Swell) Gedackt 8 stop = NRPN 40, 16256 to set the stop and NPRN 40, 0 to clear the stop
Channel 1 (Swell) Traverse Flute stop = NRPN 63, 16256 or NRPN 63, 0 to clear
Channel 2 (Great) Diapason 8 stop = NRPN 31, 16256 or 31,0
Channel 2 (Great) Harmonic Flute stop = NRPN 40, 16256, or 40,0
Channel 3 (Pedal) Choral Bass stop = NRPN 56, 16256 or 56,0
The plugin has been modified to accept a program number expression. For example, these NRPN instructions could be entered exactly as you have shown them:
Code: [Select · Download]
(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
263
Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
Code: [Select · Download]
Text Description stop = NRPN #v1, #v2
I assume that your #v1 is the actual NRPN number, and your #v2 is the combination of controller 6 (Data Entry MSB) and 36 (Data Entry LSB). The representation formula is then:
Type: | NRPN |
MSB: | #v1/128 |
LSB: | #v1 - (MSB * 128) |
DataMSB: | #v2/128 |
DataLSB: | #v2 - (DataMSB * 128) |
ShowAs: | "Text Description stop" |
Channel 1 (Swell) Gedackt 8 stop = NRPN 40, 16256 to set the stop and NPRN 40, 0 to clear the stop
On your channel 1 staff, you can use these objects to send the above changes:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.749727,Single)
|User|MIDIParm.nw|Pos:6|Type:NRPN|MSB:0|LSB:40|DataMSB:127|DataLSB:0|ShowAs:"(Swell) Gedackt 8 stop"|Visibility:Never

!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Channel 3 (Pedal) Choral Bass stop = NRPN 56, 16256 or 56,0
On your channel 3 staff, you can use these objects to send the above changes:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.749727,Single)
|User|MIDIParm.nw|Pos:6|Type:NRPN|MSB:0|LSB:56|DataMSB:127|DataLSB:0|ShowAs:"(Pedal) Choral Bass stop"|Visibility:Never

!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
I placed both of these clips in a file, which is attached. The top staff is on channel 1, and the bottom staff is on channel 3, as you indicated is required.
I have also attached a selector that encodes the first 10 items in your PDF. If you move this into your Tools, Options, Config Files folder, then restart NWC 2.75, this selector will show up in the default Insert toolbar.

- Select, copy and paste the above clip into NWC 2.75
- Press Ctrl+J
- If MIDIParm.nw is not shown as installed, then double-click it, and press Install
From now on, you can use Insert, User Object and enter MIDIParm.nw into the User Type box.
I would recommend that you construct your NRPN change objects, then copy and paste them where you need them.
As I said in your original topic, if you post technical details of your organ, I can post some object clips that do what you want. You could simply copy and paste them as needed.

This object allows you to send MIDI RPN and NRPN changes. If you do not want these to show when printing, then you will need to hide the object. You can change the text that is displayed for the object by adding a ShowAs property.
If you need any help, just reply here. It would be useful to know additional details about the kind of parameter number changes needed by your organ.
268
Object Plugins / Melismatic.nw
You can turn off Melismatic.nw at any point in a staff by adding a Melismatic.nw object, then assigning its Visibility to Never.
This object was inspired by the original work of Rick G on his rg_LyrEx object. The Melimatic object would not have been
possible without his original effort.
To get started, copy and paste the following object into a staff:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)
|User|Melismatic.nw|Pos:-11|Class:StaffSig
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
To turn off the Melismatic.nw process, simply copy and paste the following into the staff at the point where the processing is no longer required:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)
|User|Melismatic.nw|Pos:-11|Class:StaffSig|Visibility:Never
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
269
Object Plugins / ChordPlay.nw
The Font, Size, and Style can be set within any instance of ChordPlay, but only the first instance in a staff generally needs to define the font details. By default, all subsequent ChordPlay objects will use the font details specified in the first instance in the staff. If the first instance is being used only for setting default display options, then it will show as a special object.
The following clip will get you started:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

A list of accidentals are defined by a series of comma separated strings. Each string in the sequence gets displayed at the next position in the circle of fifths. An empty string can be used to skip a position in the circle of fifths. By default, the circle of fifths position starts at position 0, and cycles through the standard flat circle of fifth positions. If the list continues, the traditional sharp circle of fifth positions are used. If the list continues, then the process wraps and starts over again with position 0.
The starting position in the flat to sharp circle of fifths can be defined. This can be used to start with the first sharp position. The exact location for each position is relative to the user object's position, which allows additional flexibility.
This object is best used with the Accidentals font, by Ertuğrul İnanç. It can be found at:

Object Plugins / About Object Plugins
Introduction to Manage Objects Video
Prerequisite
Objects are a new feature in NoteWorthy Composer 2.75.
Installing a New Object Plugin
Objects are automatically loaded by NoteWorthy Composer when they are placed into the Object Plugins folder. This folder is set from Tools, Options, Folders, and by default uses a standard Windows location.
You can automatically download and install new object plugins published here by using the Tools, Manage Objects command, which opens with Ctrl+J. For new objects, you should generally open the sample's object clip first. Click the Options button, then Check online sources. This will identify any plugin source code that can be downloaded or upgraded from the forum. You can right click, or double click, any object types that you would like to install.
If you are using Windows Vista or later, you can also copy and paste the following URL into an Explorer or Open/Save window to go straight into the default location for these plugins:
Code: [Select · Download]
%ProgramData%\Noteworthy Software\nwc2\UserPlugins
Contributing
If you want to share an object plugin that you have created, then you can request post access to this area. Each object plugin must include a unique author designation, which is called its NWC Plugin-ID. Please indicate your preferred Plugin-ID with any request for posting access to this forum.
This forum board is intended to be used exclusively for posting new object plugins. The following rules apply:
- All topics must publish at least one object plugin
- Object plugins may only be attached in the primary/top message of each topic
- All object types must be named with an official Plugin-ID, or .test if you are still in the development phase
- The object's Plugin-ID must match your profile's Plugin-ID or .test
- The title of a topic should indicate the object name
- You should provide a sample nwctxt clip or file that includes your object
Any topic that is found to not follow these rules will be moved or deleted.

General Discussion / Re: Why does my Noteworthy keep crashing?
I would recommend starting with the actual crash message, as well as what you are doing when the crash occurs. If these crashes are not consistent in message or trigger, then and only then would I recommend taking other steps (perhaps a memory/cpu stress test).
Also, as mentioned, the latest NWC version is 2.51a. If your version really says 2.55, then this is an obvious cause for concern.
Update: If you are using version 2.5.5, then you should definitely upgrade to version 2.51a. There were some stability problems in version 2.5.5 (in particular, File->New was prone to crash).

General Discussion / Re: Fetching preview...
Yes, I do: NoScript, Google Privacy, Setting Sanity, Privacy Badger Firefox.
I tried disabling all them but nothing changed.
I suspect that any of these would be capable of causing issues like this. Other things can also block your Javascript preview request, such as a router.
AND.... I just followed my own advice. I fired up Firefox (which I normally do not use), and lo and behold, IT DOESN'T PREVIEW FOR ME EITHER!!!!!
When I hit F12 and try to preview, I get this error:
TypeError: XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName(...)[0] is undefined
Post preview worked fine for me in Firefox. Then, I played around with the F12 console. Now, post preview no longer works. I'll try to track down why this is.
