General Discussion / Re: A way to prevent system break?
- reduce the printable size of the notation (from File, Page Setup)
- remove extra space by placing reduction Spacers that reduce the note spacing
- force a system break at a prior bar
So, for example, if you have:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Bar
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Bar
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
This can often be greatly reduced by using spacers:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)
|Spacer|Width:10
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Spacer|Width:10
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Spacer|Width:10
|Bar
|Spacer|Width:10
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Spacer|Width:10
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Spacer|Width:10

General Discussion / Re: Override stem length? I wish!
I have toyed with the idea of adding playback to the Glissando.ms object
Possible adaptation of Version 2.0b of Glissando.ms:
Code: (lua) [Select · Download]
local PlaybackStyle = {'None','Chromatic','AllNaturals'}
local KeyIntervals = {
None = {},
Chromatic = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11},
AllNaturals = {0,2,4,5,7,9,11},
}
...
local _spec = {
...
{ id='Playback', label='Playback', type='enum', default=PlaybackStyle[1], list=PlaybackStyle },
}
...
local function GlissOctaveNearestNextInterval(t,inOctaveSemiTone)
for i,v in ipairs(t) do
if v >= inOctaveSemiTone then return i-1 end
end
return 0
end
local function CountGlissIntervals(k,v)
local o = math.floor(v/12)
local i = v % 12
return #k*o + GlissOctaveNearestNextInterval(k,i)
end
local function GlissNoteFromInterval(k,v)
local opitches = #k
local o = math.floor(v/opitches)
local i = v % opitches
return 12*o + k[i+1]
end
local function _play(t)
local playback = KeyIntervals[t.Playback]
if #playback < 1 then return end
if not (hasPriorTargetNote(priorNoteidx) and nextNoteidx:find('span', 1)) then return end
local startSPP = priorNoteidx:sppOffset()
local acc = t.TargetAcc
local dur = -startSPP
local v1 = nwcplay.getNoteNumber(priorNoteidx:notePitchPos(1) or '0')
local v2 = nwcplay.getNoteNumber(nextNoteidx:notePitchPos(1))
local inc = (v1<v2) and 1 or -1
local interval1,interval2 = CountGlissIntervals(playback,v1,inc),CountGlissIntervals(playback,v2,inc)
local deltav = math.abs(interval1-interval2)-1
if deltav < 1 then return end
local deltaSPP = dur/(deltav+1)
if deltaSPP < 1 then return end
for i=0,deltav do
local interval = interval1+(inc*i)
local notepitch = GlissNoteFromInterval(playback,interval)
if ((i==0) and (notepitch~=v1)) then notepitch = v1 end
nwcplay.note(startSPP+(deltaSPP*i),deltaSPP,notepitch)
end
end

General Discussion / Re: A user object request - oversize time signatures.
However, if a user places multiple instances of your object on the staff, then this can cause problems. It will trigger every instance of your object to be placed at the front of later systems. You could avoid this issue in your span method:
Code: (lua) [Select · Download]
local function do_span(t)
if nwc.ntnidx:find('next','user',userObjTypeName) then
return nwc.ntnidx:indexOffset()-1,'items'
end
return 16384,'bars'
end
This has the potential to impact NWC performance for very large staffs. If you don't want to allow multiple instances at all, then you could use an audit method to turn off the Span class for later object instances on a staff.
Code: (lua) [Select · Download]
local function do_audit(t)
t.Class = nwc.ntnidx:find('prior','user',userObjTypeName) and 'Standard' or 'Span'
end

Object Plugins / Re: TimeSigScaler.nw
Some tips:
- F11 shows how it really looks
- the TimeSigScaler entry of User Tools,.Plugins adds a scaler object to every time signature in a file
- additional instances can be placed on their own if the time signature is not changing (such as in your example)
- a spacer before the real time signature will prevent extra preceding white space
- a spacer immediately after the TimeSigScaler will prevent extra white space on the right ride
- the scaling can be set using +/- keys while the object is selected by itself
59
General Discussion / Re: A user object request - oversize time signatures.
This object can be used to draw a scaled version of a prior, usually hidden, time signature. This object should always be placed after the real time signature.

This object is derived from existing discussion excerpted below:
Occasionally the scores I play for musicals have a time signature that is significantly larger than you would normally expect. They extend from the centre line the same way that a normal time signature does, but instead of being completely enclosed in the staff (I.E. each number is 2 spaces high), they extend above and below by approximately an additional space to space and a half. Think scaled by 150% to 175%. This can be really, really helpful. Especially if the score is busy.

You can remove this line from the plugin:
Code: (lua) [Select · Download]
t.Class = 'StaffSig'
A user tool that adds an OversizeTimeSig object to every time signature is pretty straight forward. As far as a single object instance that redraws all instances of a time signature, Lloyd's original solution is about as good as it will get.
62
General Discussion / Re: A user object request - oversize time signatures.
One observation - What I meant by "make sure it's been made invisible" was that the object would modify the existing time signature to make it invisible, not detect one that is already invisible... I don't know if the API's will allow for this.
They don't.
Eric, I notice with your version that the time sig. gets placed on every new system...
Not exactly. It has to accompany any actual time signature that is placed. The plugin code could be enhanced to support standard sizes on new printed systems after its first appearance.

General Discussion / Re: Updated nwc-conv for 2.75 with UTF8 support?
Version 2.75 exports MIDI text as utf-8, which is probably causing your problem.
Version 2.75a provides for ANSI text during MIDI export from the Tools, Options, File, ANSI text encoding option.

User Tools / Attach Objects To Next Note.nw
This tool attaches all instances of the designated user object type to the target note that follows it, skipping any rests or bar lines that separate the object from its target note. This has been designed to work with TremoloSingle.ms objects, but would work for other objects that specifically target notes, and not rests or bar lines.
In version 2.75a, you can install this tool directly from Tools, User Tools, Download by entering its name at the prompt:

Tips & Tricks / Re: Uninstalled Object listing
I don't see NWC offering a facility to encourage installing everything. However, the community could create a *.nwc master file of objects that demonstrates a large collection of them. This master file would enable something similar to what you describe, as it could be used to quickly download and install a large collection of plugins, and also demo their capabilities.
Alternately, perhaps an overview page that demonstrates many of the objects would be helpful.
I'll think about it. This Plugin board is meant to provide much of this now, as it can be casually browsed.

General Discussion / Re: Bulk Save NWC files
NWC 2.75 has a builtin INFO method that can be accessed from the command line. It shows you some summary stats about a file, including NWC version used to create it, play time, and fonts used. You can access this facility from the User Tool mechanism using the attached Windows batch file...
78
User Tools / Retrieve NWC File Version, Font, and Play Time Information
Additional Details: A file's path name is sent to user tools that handle File Text. The file path is only provided for existing non-sample files. If you want to retrieve the version info for an old file, you must make sure that you do not save it prior to invoking this tool. Once you save a file in a new version of NWC, the old information is lost.
Additionally, user tools receive input encoded as utf-8. If your files are named with characters beyond simple ASCII, you will likely experience issues with this tool.

Object Plugins / Re: ChordPlay.nw
- When not using Lawrie Pardy's chord fonts, '#' and 'b' are automatically mapped to true flat and sharp characters for display purposes.
- When using one of Lawrie Pardy's Germanic chord fonts, B and Bb are automatically remapped to H and B for display purposes.
84
General Discussion / Re: Adding H to ...Chord fonts?
Treating 'B' named chords as B♭ is a little trickier.
85
General Discussion / Re: Copying staffs more efficiently
The cursor behaviour is simply wrong and should be fixed so other users won't encounter it.
If you turn off Smart Insertion Point (in Options, Editor), the current behavior will be more apparent.
I'll look into ways to improve this behavior; perhaps using the actual position of the insertion point from the user's vantage point.

General Discussion / Re: Object for general note range instructions?
- Use two objects, with special handling of cases for one or the other not in the current system
- Use the StaffSig class to draw in target systems beyond its home system (indicated by isAutoInsert)
Some additional examples of these techniques can also be seen in BarCounter.nw, PageTxtMaestro.nw, and TabStaff.nw.
