General Discussion / Re: Changing the Font Size

2018-12-04 11:02 pm

There is not much to be gained with fractional font sizes:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposer(2.751)
|Font|Style:User1|Size:19|CharSet:1
|Font|Style:User2|Size:19.4|CharSet:1

General Discussion / Re: Note velocity, accents, and external MIDI keyboards

2018-11-21 12:33 am

Quote from: schnautza – 2018-11-20 11:10 pm

Is there a way to change this multiplier to 1.2? 40% is far too much accent.

No.
I agree. %40 is often too much. Even worse, note velocity is limited to 127 so some notes don't get accented at all.

There are ways around this by manipulating the Default Dynamic Velocities and using the Expression Controller rather than note velocities for dynamics. Depending on the instrument and your synth, this may cause more problems than it solves

Tomorrow, I could expand this with an example if you are interested.

If you care about appearance, be careful with decorated bar lines.
They often need to be "faked" with text or put on non-playing layered staves.

Quote from: William Ashworth – 2018-10-15 05:51 pm

It occurred to me this morning - struggling once again with the arpeggio object and ties

I assume that "It" is a stuck note. This will produce a "note off" to stop it:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)
|Note|Dur:Whole,Grace|Pos:0^|Opts:Muted|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:Whole,Grace|Pos:0|Visibility:Never
|Rest|Dur:64th
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

The above produces this MIDI output:

Code: (mtx) [Select · Download]

1 On ch=1 n=71 v=0

The rest will be mostly unneeded. It is there only because grace notes at the end of the song are ignored by NoteWorthy.

A related problem: the object doesn't mute when the staff it's on is muted.

It is probably possible for the object to detect this, but IMO, NoteWorthy should.
NoteWorthy would be improved if it did not generate any MIDI events from a muted staff.

If you really want to stop a staff from producing sound, assign playback to a non-existent device.
That should supress everything except tempo changes.

Tips & Tricks / Re: Can I change the space between the lyric lines?

2018-09-18 04:57 pm

Quote from: jfb-from-germany – 2018-09-18 04:12 pm

But I could imagine there could be a way using a little user object.

You imagine more than I can.
Fonts exist that have a larger than normal line height. You could find one (or alter an existing font with a font editor) and use it.

For a crude separation, you can put each verse on its own staff and manipulate the Lyric offset. If you want to use the VerseNumbers.ms object, it will need some special attention as well.

Quote from: brian – 2018-08-31 02:58 am

Is it now possible to increase the staff line weight and thickness.

You ask if it is now possible ... This made me ask myself if there was anything new in NWC and that answer is no.

But there is something that is old and generally undocumented.
If you press ALT+Z, a window will pop up entitled: Staff Line Thickness Override (Experimental)
Values of 200 to 500 produce reasonable results.

The value is not stored anywhere.
The change affects the entire instance of NWC.

From notes on the NWC 2.5.2 Beta:

Beta 4 is now available at the top of this topic. Notable additions:

Maybe printing them as TIFFs (which can contain multiple pages) and then using some tool that "overlays" the graphics ("white is transparent") might help - of course after putting in enough white space so that NWC puts the pieces at the right places on the pages ... has anyone tried that (and knows about tools for this)?

NWC lets you save a page as an EMF. With IrfanView, you can crop it and combine it with other images with IrfanView's 'Create Panoramic Image ...'
IrfanView also lets you paste a clipboard image into a rectangular selection of its main image. I use this a lot for manipulating scanned music to manage page turns.

Generally, I find that overlaying images is not needed.

I can’t seem to do that using my laptop.

I'm not surprised. It helps to have a real mouse. Also, holding the control key down (with no selection) will highlight the chord and change the hand icon to a crosshair.
This can get a bit confusing since the flashing insertion point is ignored for right-click operations.

I think that the dot explanation should say cycle between one, two or zero dots. Otherwise it looks like it's just for adding one or two dots, rather than clearing them as well.

If you want to toggle between one and zero, this still works: https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=6015.msg39599#msg39599

Hover your mouse over the "handle" on a particular toolbar, and right click. You'll see a menu that has an entry for each toolbar, with a checkbox next to it. There will also be a submenu named "Button Heights", where you can pick a height between 12 and 60 pixels for that toolbar. (I think the default is 18 pixels.) Each toolbar (except for the Piano) can be separately sized.

The default is 18 pixels.

General Discussion / Re: New Strange Sound Issue

2018-07-07 08:08 pm

Quote from: SEBC – 2018-07-07 04:50 pm

instrumentation is voice, piano and oboe

I would suggest making the "singer" MIDI channel 1, the oboe MIDI channel 2, and the piano a higher MIDI channel.

In the event of voice overload, synths are supposed to drop voices from the higher channels first.

I would also remove any sustain pedal down items. While the pedal is down, voices are not released. They can add up rather quickly. If this solves the issue, you can judiciously add the 'pedal downs' back in where needed.

Object Plugins / Re: A ghost in my score!

I heard a ghost G note (acciaccatura) identical to the one at the beginning of the last measure.
Why?

The acciaccatura objects get invoked according to the musical flow but they schedule playback according to the visual layout:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)
|TimeSig|Signature:2/4
|Rest|Dur:Half
|Bar|Style:MasterRepeatOpen
|User|Acciaccatura.ms|Pos:0|Class:StaffSig|Rate:16
|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:-2|Opts:Muted
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:-1
|Bar
|Ending|Endings:1
|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:-1|Opts:Muted
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:0
|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:-1|Opts:Muted
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:0
|Bar|Style:MasterRepeatClose
|Ending|Endings:2
|Rest|Dur:Half
|Bar
|Note|Dur:8th,Grace|Pos:0|Opts:Muted
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:1
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

Seems like the way to fix it is to put an acciaccatura object after each Master or Local Repeat Open and after each Special Ending.
Probably 'To Coda' and Coda also need this, but I have not tested.

If there are only a few, it seems easier to use Standard rather than StaffSig.

Ok now I have a drum score but it plays the notes instead of the drum sounds. What did I do wrong?

You probably used a MIDI channel other than 10

Are you saying that you would need to write it into the code

I don't know what you mean by "write it into the code."

Quote from: SEBC – 2018-06-29 06:47 pm

and that there is no way to do it otherwise? How exactly does one do that?

You can also use layers:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposer(2.751)
|AddStaff|Name:"Staff"
|StaffProperties|EndingBar:Open (hidden)|WithNextStaff:Layer
|Rest|Dur:4th|Opts:VertOffset=4
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Up
|AddStaff|Name:"Staff-2"
|StaffProperties|EndingBar:Open (hidden)
|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:VertOffset=-4
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:0
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Down
!NoteWorthyComposer-End

Quote from: SEBC – 2018-06-29 06:47 pm

Could you make one or more of those rests invisible?

Yes, but if you don't want to see the quarter rest, don't put it in.
It can be confusing if you can't see the rests.

Quote from: SEBC – 2018-06-29 06:47 pm

And when would you need to use this trick?

When you have 2 or more voices on a staff that pause for different durations, but you can also do this:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)
|Rest|Dur:8th
|RestChord|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Up|Dur2:8th|Pos2:0

2018-06-28 10:17 pm

You need to spend some time aligning your bar lines before anyone can be of much help.
Also, where you put a gap in one staff, you need a gap in the other staves.
Note: A collapsed staff affects layout. You cannot have garbage in it and expect good results.

If you have a staff that you do not want to affect printing, remove it from contents using 'Page Setup.'

How about ... 0 stems and blank heads? They seem to spread correctly

0 stems are OK, but you might as well make the noteheads visible. Easier that way, I think.

they would insert a non-grace rest of the desired duration of the tuplet, and mark that hidden as well. Immediately preceding these notes, there would be a user object, which would have necessary parameters to control the appearance (and playback) of the tuplet.

Without knowing the durations and appearance of notes on other staves, the user object could not get the appearance right.

Yes - soundcard. The many piano notes that do not stop immediately use up too many of the "polyphonic voices" of the synthesizer.

I agree. If you change the MIDI channel of the pianos to 16, The strings will sound.

NWC does not have an overwrite mode

I'm confused. In 'Clip mode', NWC replaces the selection with STDOUT. In 'File mode', it replaces the entire song with STDOUT. In a sense, it only supports overwrite mode. But the User Tool can copy what it gets from STDIN and insert all or part of it in STDOUT so that both insert and overwrite are supported.

That said, reading a selection from one staff and properly applying it to another staff is difficult to impossible.

The cursor position is not available in Clip Mode. You would need to change your User Tool to use File Mode.

In File Mode, the '|Editor|...' info is for the the current view. It is possible to parse the '#/File:..' tag for the source file, if one exists.
This will not work for files opened via 'Open Sample...'

I also have trouble with piano notes decaying too quickly in the left-hand. For example I had a two measure cord in the left-hand and by the time the second measure came around the sound had completely disappeared.

The sustain pedal is your friend for that.
