General Discussion / Re: Prefer 1.75
Interesting preference...I will look into providing a NWC 1.75c download method for NWC2 users, and report back here.

Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
The default Insert toolbar has all 16 selectors. You simply right click on any selector, then select Customize to alter it. When editing a selector, you can use File, Revert to return it to its default state.
255
Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
There are only 16 selectors.  You can work back to Selector 11 without destroying any of the built-in selectors.

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

Announcements / Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop Linux
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:

Code: [Select · Download]
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
You can just drag and drop the file onto the modify post area that says "Add files by dragging and dropping..."

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.

260
Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
I would hope that controller 38 does not cause a problem, since @lew.myrick explicitly cited large paramater data numbers. If it does cause a problem, just delete the DataLSB property.
261
Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
The latest plugin is attached here. The easiest way to get it is from Tools, User Objects (Ctrl+J), Options, Check online sources.

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.

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

Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
I picked two example and created MIDIParm.nw clips that represents them below. Given your NRPN expressions as:

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
|User|MIDIParm.nw|Pos:6|Type:NRPN|MSB:0|LSB:56|DataMSB:0|DataLSB:0|ShowAs:"(Pedal) Choral Bass clear"|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.

General Discussion / Re: NRPNs in NWC 2.75 Beta
From an old message, you apparently have a Allen C12 organ. I looked up the manual, but could not find any NRPN details for this organ. If you have any further details, I can provide more assistance.
265
Object Plugins / Re: MIDIParm.nw
Follow the instructions in the About User Plugins. In short:

  • 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.

266
Object Plugins / MIDIParm.nw
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.

The following clip uses MIDIParm.nw to temporarily change the pitch bend range to 12 semitones:

General Discussion / Re: NRPNs in NWC 2.75 Beta
NWC 2.75 includes the necessary infrastructure to support NRPN instructions, but it does not offer any native controls to send such instructions. I created a user object that should make it very easy to control your organ stops. Refer to the new MIDIParm.nw  object plugin:

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
Melismatic.nw will detect melismas in a staff and automatically draw an extender line that spans the notes contained within the melisma. Only a single Melismatic.nw object is required. Simply add it to the start of any staff with lyrics, and the rest is automatic.

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
ChordPlay enables show and play of a named chord. For play back, the duration of the chord is determined by the indicated Span value, which defines the number of notes/rests for which the chord will play.

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]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)

General Discussion / Re: updates
Your question lacks some important details, but I assume you are asking if there are known problems in NoteWorthy Composer to trigger an erratic mouse response. We do not have any known issues that would cause something like this.
273
Object Plugins / CustomKey.nw
This object allows a list of accidental strings to be defined such that they form a custom key signature. The following sample will get you started:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.749727,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|User|CustomKey.nw|Pos:0|Class:StaffSig|AccList:1,7,,,2
|TimeSig|Signature:28/4
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

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
Object plugins allow a variety of custom functionality to be added to your NoteWorthy Composer file. Each Object can be subclassed using specially crafted scripts that can establish new behavior for each object type. An introductory video is available on our YouTube channel:

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.

Announcements / Web site/server changes
We are in the process of migrating our online systems over to a new system. As a part of this process, we are moving NWC specific web resources over to the noteworthycomposer.com domain. During this process, you may experience occasional failures, unusual navigation results, and changes to the look and feel of some pages/areas.

General Discussion / Re: Data Security
Our metrics, and general industry trends, indicate that many people have moved to cloud based e-mail. Although this sacrifices privacy, it does tend to protect against catastrophic hacks. In this scenario, your provider wants to be the sole source of data tracking, so they tend to protect you from external attacks. Good news, bad news...
283
General Discussion / Re: Why does my Noteworthy keep crashing?
Sometimes, resolution by committee can lead to even more trouble.

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).
286
General Discussion / Re: Fetching preview...
From what I could tell, the root of this problem appears to be the failure of Firefox to forward the session cookie during the Preview request. A forum upgrade is in the works, so this issue may work itself out over time.

Update: After testing this in a variety of browsers, it appears as though the AJAX version of preview is just broken. Some browsers fall back to the standard POST preview, and others do not.
287
General Discussion / Re: Fetching preview...
As a temporary work around, you should be able to hold the Ctrl key down while pressing the Preview button. This disables the sendXMLDocument Javascript behavior, and forces a normal posted preview. Don't do this after adding attachments, though.
288
General Discussion / Re: Fetching preview...
If this problem is with Post Preview and not Print Preview, I can easily simulate a "Fetching preview..." hang by disabling Javascript after I start to author a reply. The post preview mechanism uses Javascript to perform its function when the browser reports that Javascript is enabled during page load.

Quote from: Flurmy –
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.


Quote from: Mike Shawaluk –
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.

Announcements / Re: NoteWorthy Composer 2.75 Beta Preview 26
NWC 2.75 Beta Preview 26:

  • fixes the problems with text scaling and older format files
  • converts all font sizing to use floating point calculations
  • converts nwctxt Version handling to use full double precision floating point values
293
Announcements / Re: NoteWorthy Composer 2.75 Beta Preview 25
NWC 2.75 Beta Preview 25 includes a new scaling feature for text expressions. This allows each text expression to be individually sized, without using additional user font definitions. The editor allows direct adjustment of a single, selected text expression using the +/- keys.

This release also hardens the plugin mechanism against various mathematical overflow/range errors.
296
Announcements / Forum Crashed
Yesterday, we experienced a server crash, and subsequent forum corruption. During the recovery process, the "currently read posts" tracking mechanism was reset. This means that you will see all existing topics as "New Posts" regardless of whether you have read them or not. Frequent visitors might want to "MARK ALL MESSAGES AS READ" in the lower right of the main forum index. The forum should resume normal message read tracking from this point.
297
Announcements / Re: NoteWorthy Composer 2.75 Beta Preview 20
NWC 2.75 Beta Preview 20 makes the following changes to the experimental Lua based userdraw mechanism (further details can be found in the Back Stage area):

  • fix for program instability/crash when running userdraw plugin methods
  • the +/- keys now support a single, selected User item's Span property, if it contains one
