General Discussion / Re: NWC Viewer 2.5 Beta 10
The find more files is mostly intended for new users, who are probably starting with the Viewer as their only NWC file tool. The Samples are shown when you first open the Viewer directly with no specified file. I imagine that the Samples access is mostly useful during the initial user exposure.

I would not be surprised to see the user interface mechanisms into these facilities evolve over time. For example, they might migrate into a File menu overlay front-end. Still evaluating it...further comments welcome.

General Discussion / Re: NWC 2.5.2 - Behaves badly on playback - HELP!
Your concern has been noted, and will be reviewed.

Background: The current play back style was added to NWC 2.5 to allow more expressive possibilities using staccato/tenuto/staccatissimo/slur combinations.  The changes went through an extended beta testing cycle. The original NWC Viewer 2.5 beta from August 2010 included these changes.

General Discussion / Re: Opening Whole Measure Rest Position Fix
Quote from: Richard Woodroffe –
Would the different key sigs cause a difference?

Not by themselves (as of version 2.5.2).

Clef or key changes appearing in just some parts (such as 1812 sample, bar 162) are the main issue now, but they do not happen very often.

The version 2.5.2 centering technique for starting system bars can also leave the whole measure rest a little too much to the right of center, but the offset is subtle, and less noticeable as the bar width increases.

General Discussion / Re: Opening Whole Measure Rest Position Fix
Quote from: Rick G. –
I used the attachment at the top of the page.

This topic highlights the fact that hidden bar lines can be used to create boundaries around whole measure rests that can control centering. The posted attachment only applies this technique to one part. If the technique is applied to all parts containing a measure rest, then they would all share the same boundary, and would align. Changes in version 2.5.2 make this less necessary, but on occasion, very useful.

General Discussion / Re: Staff Line Weight/Thickness
NWC 2.5.2 will include both a slightly thicker staff line, and an experimental mechanism for temporarily changing staff line thickness. You might want to wait for that update.

General Discussion / Re: Notes on 2.5
The help file will be updated to include missing info.

Not all object types are included in the predefined categories. You can find spacers using the expression:

|Spacer|*

General Discussion / Re: 1) STYLE FILES / 2) nwc 2.5.1
1) NWC doesn't support *.sty files in any way. You can export to Type 0 MIDI files. From there, you might be able to use some kind of Yamaha Style editor to convert the performance, but I have nothing to offer on how this might be done.

2) Subject to the terms of the NWC2 license, your older version 2 installs have to be upgraded individually. The easiest way is via the Help->Access Noteworthy Software.com command in the program.

General Discussion / Re: Installing on a Netbook
I've never had a problem with networking between XP and Windows 7 machines. You should be able to just share your CD drive from your XP machine to your LAN, then connect to it from the Windows 7 machine.

For installing the CD version, you could also copy the installer exe from the CD onto a thumb drive.

General Discussion / Re: horizontal lines in music higher contrast
Quote from: guidovanh –
When we show these powerpoint onto the wall, but we cannot see the horizontal lines...

It is unclear from your description whether your problem is caused by the projector, the projection surface, the room lighting, the image conversion, or the presentation software.

With regard to NWC, the line widths cannot be user changed. However, they are based on staff size and printer resolution, if that helps.

General Discussion / Re: changing music
For each staff, Tools Transpose and enter +1 for the number of semitones. I would also recommend setting "Favor sharps" based on your description.

General Discussion / Re: Keyboard mapping
If this does not work for you in the evaluation, then you would very likely experience the same issue in the full version. If the note length tools show as available, and work when you click on them, then you should also be able to control them using the 1 through 6 keys, as well as the + and - keys, on the keyboard. If you are not able to do this, then something on your system must be interfering.

Also, please note that licensed, registered users of version 1.* can upgrade to NWC 2 for much less than the price that you quote. See our home page for details.

General Discussion / Re: Organ "locks up"
This issue made its way to support. We appear to have ruled out a MIDI feedback loop, which was my first guess (via the MIDI Echo feature in NWC).

Our last communication raised the possibility that this issue might be related to a standby/resume/power save event on the computer while it is connected through the USB MIDI device to the organ.

General Discussion / Re: Beta versions
Program beta versions generally stay in the forum domain. The current beta Viewer was announced to a wider online audience. It also is stable enough for a wider release, which should happen soon.

General Discussion / Re: Aligning rest symbols
I am not clear on exactly what you are doing, but you can also assign the lyric number to a hidden grace note rest, like so:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|TimeSig|Signature:4/4
|Rest|Dur:16th,Grace|Opts:Lyric=Always|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:3
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:3
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:3
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:3
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

This technique is described somewhere here in the forum, but I could not immediately find it.

Full file example is also attached.

General Discussion / Re: nwc clip
I will review the font used in code blocks.

Quote from: NoteWorthy Online –
A built-in *.nwctxt "View" link should appear soon. It is currently in testing.

This became a download link, and it appears now on any code block found in forum topics. If the block is tagged as php, py, nwc, nwctxt, or nwcitree, then it will automatically have the appropriate extension when it is downloaded.

Some examples:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.5,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|Text|Text:"Ta Da!"|Font:StaffBold|Pos:-8
|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:-2
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

Code: (nwcitree) [Select · Download]
# Sample NWC instrument tree

\Piano
Acoustic Grand Piano=0
Bright Acoustic Piano=1
Electric Grand Piano=2
Honky-tonk Piano=3
Rhodes Piano=4
Chorused Piano=5
Harpsichord=6
Clavinet=7

Code: (php) [Select · Download]
<?php
// This is a small php script

echo "Hello World\n";
?>


This example demonstrates that there are still a few issues to work out.... Should be fixed.

General Discussion / Re: nwc clip
Earlier this week, we released several improvements in this area.

1) There is a button in the full post editor for adding [code=nwc] blocks.

2) All code blocks can be quickly selected using the "Select" link as shown below:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.5,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|Text|Text:"Ta Da!"|Font:StaffBold|Pos:-8
|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:-2
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

A built-in *.nwctxt "View" link should appear soon. It is currently in testing.
