General Discussion / Re: Enharmonic fudging when importing midis
http://archive.cs.uu.nl/pub/MIDI/PROGRAMS/MSDOS/mf2t.zip

From the doc file:
"Two programs to manipulate standard midifiles.

mf2t is a program that reads a standard midifile (format 0 or 1) and writes an ASCII representation of it that is both compact and easily parsable.

t2mf is the companion program that reparses the text representation into a midifile."

I've used these to get the key signature right before import. Saves a lot of time.
You can even rework the timesig from 4/4 to 12/8 to see where those "triplets" really are.

Helps to know your way around an MS-DOS prompt. Doskey can be a big help.

General Discussion / Re: Font Installer Required
Sorry that link didn't work as planned. Just copy:

and paste it into your Address bar.

General Discussion / Re: Font Installer Required
You could send this link in your email:

!link(Win98 Font Help=mk:@MSITStore:C:\WINDOWS\Help\windows.chm::/windows_fonts_addnew.htm)

The Windows XP link doesn't work as well.

On either system, Hit F1 while focused on the desktop. Type: add new font in the search box.

Incidently, just typing fonts in the run box (WinKey+R) will launch the fonts folder. Can't be much simpler than that.
3455
General Discussion / Re: Font Installer Required
For step 2, a little easier to remember is

control fonts

Works from win95 on, might even work in 3.1

You can drag True Type (*.ttf) fonts from explorer to the fonts folder. Provided there is not another font "registered" with the same name, Windows will automatically install it.

Name, in this context is not just the file name, but internal names within the file.  Double click on the font file to find the internal name, listed as the Typeface name:.

Sometimes you have to logoff/logon or reboot. For older (*.fon, *.fot) files, you will always have to reboot.

Rarely, windows won't allow you to delete an old font. (access denied warnings)
Solutions (in ascending "hassle" order):

A) Reboot, then delete the font before opening any other applications.

B) Reboot into safe mode, then delete the font before opening any other applications.

C) Reboot to command line mode, use attrib to remove the system (and possibly hidden) attributes from the fonts folder, delete the file(s), then restore the attributes. This is an option best left to "techies".

Except for step C, deleted fonts go to the recycle bin, so if you don't like the new font, delete it, open the Recycle Bin and restore the old file.

In multi-user environments, all users may not have the rights to add fonts.

General Discussion / Re: double dottet note in the toolbar
Use the keyboard...

Sounds good, but double-dot is on of those rare birds without a quick key.
A period will cycle among Default|Dot|DblDot only if you have the DblDot button on your tool bar.

For a piece with only a few DblDot's, I find it much easier not to have the DblDot button on the tool bar.
Instead, I select the note or rest and use the context menu (rightclick+dd).

FWIW
3458
General Discussion / Re: double dottet note in the toolbar
I think you are confusing the Insert Tempo button with the Note Double-dot button.

Insert Tempo looks like: d=..
Note Double-dot looks like d..

If you hover over the button with your mouse, you will get a tool tip description.
The Note Double-dot button button may not be on your tool bar.
You can add it with &View->&Toolbars...->Customize

General Discussion / Re: Does anyone use AutoIt?
Yes, it can be useful. I have some VBScripts that I use to send keystrokes to NoteWorthy.

When "allow layering" was not accessable from the main menu, I used  a VBScript with AutoIt to toggle layering. AutoIt gives you much more control over where the keystrokes go. Clipboard functions are useful too.

AutoIt is not so useful as part of a User Tool. NoteWorthy doesn't respond to messages while the script is running. There are probably ways around that, but I'm currently trying to see what User Tools can do when used as intended.

General Discussion / Re: Visibility of Clefs beyond bar 1
Re: https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=5127.msg32556#msg32556

Nothing strange about open repeats and clefs. A da capo encounters the initial clef and acts accordingly.

IMO, the key sigs, tempos, dynamics, mpcs, etc. all work as they should. NWC is not primarily a midi sequencer program. It is a music notation program that uses midi to verify correct entry.

Some arrangements of Carol King's Tapestry change key at the repeat. If you key it to Noteworthy, it will play exactly as intended. I would not like this behaviour to change.

You will save much grief if you always start with a key sig, even if the key is "C" (unless you intend the midi output to be keyless). NW lets have it both ways.
3463
General Discussion / Re: Visibility of Clefs beyond bar 1
In the lower right corner of the status bar is:
[used%]Group:staff name. The Group and staff name are also in Score Review with the current staff highlighted.

You might consider using Treble, Tenor, Baritone, or Bass as your group names and the instrument as the staff name. This will cover all the situations where these don't change.

You can insert a 2 temporary "key changes" to "C". The second will show you where "G" is on each Clef. You can then delete the key changes.

In NWC2, the current instrument can always be found by pressing "i" for instrument patch.
Pressing "c" for clef is of no use as it currently defaults to the last clef entered (or treble if none).

For advanced users, it would be nice if the Clef and current key were on the status bar,  but the "mission" of Noteworthy is to be easy for the casual user.

General Discussion / A few "buglets" in Preview 1q
1  The first note on each line should align vertically, but text before the first note causes a left shift.

!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Workaround is to put system breaks in each line and put "dummy" text before the 1st note if there is no actual text.

2  Special Endings should align vertically. They do in Print Preview, but not in the Editor Window.
Create 2 staves in a blank score and paste this in each:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)

|Dynamic|Style:mp|Pos:-7
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:-3
|Rest|Dur:Half
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Now delete the text and dynamic from one staff. This misalignment is more unsightly when layered. As above, workaround is to add dummy text.

3  On a piece with only 1 staff, NWC2 correctly leaves the staff open on the left side of the page, but if 2 or more staves are layered to produce an apparent single staff, the result is a closed staff on the left.  I won't bore you with the workarounds.

Overall, I am quite satisfied with the progress of NWC2.

General Discussion / Re: Audit Note Stems bug
An easier way to see it.
Fire up Micro$oft's Clipboard Viewer
Copy this into a blank score:

Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:-6|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:4th|Pos2:1
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:1|Opts:Stem=Up|Dur2:4th|Pos2:-6
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
The above is what you will see in the Clipboard Viewer's window.

Audit Note Stems then copy the two Chords. The Clipboard Viewer's display changes to:

|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:|Dur2:4th|Pos2:1
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:|Dur2:4th|Pos2:1

As I said before, this only affects the Text Clipboard format.
The binary format appears not to be affected. That is why you see no change if you paste ...
3468
General Discussion / Re: Audit Note Stems bug
To produce my output:
Start with a blank score.
click quarter note. click note up. position cursor to +1. Press <enter>
click note down. Press <ctrl+down>. Press <enter>

Add a staff. Copy the chord just created to it.
Audit Note Stems on the new staff. Copy the "audited" chord to NotePad. Select all in NotePad, copy it, and paste it to the right of the chord that you entered manually. Copy both of them into the forum.

Original Chord:
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:1|Opts:Stem=Up|Dur2:4th|Pos2:-6

After Audit Note Stems:
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:|Dur2:4th|Pos2:1o|Color:0|Visibility:Default

Maybe someone can tell me what the o in Pos2:1o means. And why Color and Visibility are now listed?

I know that this looks convoluted, but this is what a User Tool sees and it is important that it be accurate.

Hope this helps,
3469
General Discussion / Re: Audit Note Stems bug
David, I'm not saying that NWC2 should not allow divisi.  I am saying that it needs to be handled correctly.

You have to force stem direction on both notes to get the first chord.  It is the normal way to get 2 voices of the same duration on one staff.  Audit Note Stems should be intelligent enough to leave it alone (and in fact it does in it's internal clip format).

As it is now, Preview 1q will wreck havoc on User Tools.

adp_TransposeChords.php, adp_Ranges.php, and adp_Parts.php

are all likely to to fail or produce inaccurate results.

It is hardly acceptable to tell folks not use Audit Note Stems if the staff contains "split" chords, but that would be my best advice until there is a fix.

Anyone currently trying to debug a script has my sympathies ...

|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:1|Opts:Stem=Up|Dur2:4th|Pos2:-6
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:|Dur2:4th|Pos2:1
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
When I enter the first Chord and then Audit Note Stems, the clipboard shows it as the second Chord. This appears to happen on all Chords with notes going in both directions.

The file saves and restores correctly and I can copy and paste. It seems that the Noteworthy Composer 2 clip format is being handled correctly but the Text clip format is lost forever. It is not corrected by a save and restore.

This bug won't be a problem for anyone not using User Tools, but it could be a rather insidious bug for those that do.

Question to Noteworthy: Is there a better way to alert you to bugs than posting the to the forum?

2007Oct03: This has been fixed as of Beta 2.20

General Discussion / Re: RestChords with grace notes - feature or bug?
The first one is simply a normal RestChord that I selected and hit the "grace button"

The second one is a grace rest + grace note, then I selected it and hit the grace button twice, then audit note stems.

You can complete the set:

Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|RestChord|Dur:4th,Grace|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:4th|Pos2:0

|RestChord|Dur:4th|Opts:Stem=Up|Dur2:4th,Grace|Pos2:0
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
By editing the clipboard text.

Beaming RestChords is a whole 'nother matter...  Generally you can't.

Then there is this restriction on having rests that are longer than the attached note that I have never understood.

It would seem to me that RestChords need not even exist. The rest could be handled like a accidental..."r" instead of "#" or "b". The structure and error checking would be as for any other chord, only the display would be different.

More and more, when I have 2 or more voices, I am just starting out with a layer, knowing that somewhere I am going to run into a problem that is insoluble without layers.

General Discussion / Re: Feature requests: Text Expression entry box/Leger lines hints
Re: DGF on duplets and septuplets:

Not really. Some of them can't be timed exactly, but with PPQ=192, a note lasting 1 click would be a triplet 512th note!
Unless the tempo was very, very slow, no one could hear the unevenness. It would be better than any human and probably better than any piano roll. More like a swiss music box.

Many MIDI files are PPQ=384.

General Discussion / Re: Feature requests: Text Expression entry box/Leger lines hints
Response to https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=5097.msg32285#msg32285:

At the beginning of every midi file is a header chunk. One of the elements of every header chunk is called division, which represents how finely a quarter note can be divided. This number is the "parts per quarter note" (PPQ or sometimes PPQN)
It is almost always 192 or 384. Noteworthy always exports it as 192 and the rest of this discussion will assume PPQ=192. One PPQ is called a "click". A 16th note would be 194/4 or 48 clicks.

Each note of this:

3:1:64:a5
3:2:128:b5

You last question about 2 staves is irrelevant since the idea is to put the cursor position in the status bar and the cursor can only be on one staff at any one time.

It did lead me to an interesting discovery. If you put different time sigs on staffs, export it, then import it, the time sig of the first staff becomes the time sig of all the staves!
Add a new staff to the above example and paste this in:
Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|Key|Signature:C
|TimeSig|Signature:12/8

|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:-4
|Bar
|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:-4
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Now export it and import it.
I don't know if this is a Noteworthy or a MIDI constraint.

I have wished for a number of years that Noteworthy's implementation of the multipoint controller would allow me to express offsets in PPQ's and allow note on events, but I never wrote up a request deeming it too advanced for the typical user.
3476
General Discussion / Re: Feature requests: Text Expression entry box/Leger lines hints
"The idea with leger lines hints solves the problem."

Not so much as you might think.

On the treble clef, my mind "gives up" on E below the bottom line and A above the top line. Having ledger lines would be of at best, limited help.

A better solution would be a "phantom cursor" in the form of a smaller, or lighter or different colored rectangle that stays within the ledger lines at a discrete number of octaves from the real cursor. I would always recognize the pitch and it would not be long before I recognized the difference between 1, 2 or 3 octaves.

Possibly better than that would be a line in the status bar in the form of bar:beat:click:pitch where click is in [abbr=Parts per quarter note, a MIDI term]PPQ's[/abbr].
A typical entry might look like: 32:2:96:C5

General Discussion / Re: Quirk:auditing dotted (and double dotted) 64th notes
"This behaviour is intentional."

C'mon now, this is spin. Audit bar lines splits notes repeatedly and without warning. All these cases should stop with a warning similar to what once happened when the program ran into a transposition that it couldn't handle.

An 'no-spin' response would be:

"No, we don't handle silliness like this and don't plan to."
ditto for dotted 64's

Don't get me wrong here: I love the program and am amazed at how responsive you are to users, but ...

Apologies in advance to overseas readers who may be unfamiliar with my use of "no-spin" and "ditto".

Yes, Andrew, I saw you post in the newsgroup. I have an Awe32 and can dual boot into '98 or XP.

I feel (some of) your pain. I couldn't get a soundfont to load with XP. I spent a couple hours trying some utilities that came up on Google. None of them worked with XP. It is a shame that Creative doesn't offer a scriptable ActiveX component.

If I find anything that works, I'll let you know, but this is not a high priority for me. I use NW mainly to create sheet music for live performance. Playback just needs to be close enough to give me a feel for the piece.

General Discussion / Re: Why should Boxmark2 not show up?
Have you tried rebooting? At a minimum, you should reload the document.

For speed reasons, Windows uses a technique it calls "font caching". One side effect this is that fonts don't always appear in documents that are open when the font is installed.
3483
General Discussion / Re: Quirk:auditing dotted (and double dotted) 64th notes
Messy, but hardly surprising. A 128th note (which does not exist in Noteworthy land) is needed to get to a down beat. Or a dotted 64th plus a 64th which is way too complicated for the audit function.  I don't even want to think about double dots. If I ever ran across this pattern in the real world, I would curse the composer not the programmer.

Simplest solution would seem to be not to allow dots on 64th notes. Not much would be lost, especially if Noteworthy would recognize a triplet while importing midi.

I would rather have Eric spend his time on getting tied notes and multiple rests to sync to the beat.  Sometimes I nearly go blind fixing midi imports.
3484
General Discussion / Re: Audit Enharmonic Spelling
Spelling is as much a matter of personal taste as it is theory (much like English before Noah Webster). Some folks will do anything to avoid a C flat, even if it is perfectly logical. Others don't want to see any sharps if the key sig is B flat.

I just wish that I could invoke audit enharmonic spelling on a selection rather than the entire staff. If I didn't like what I saw I could undo it and fix it manually. I really hate having to proof the entire staff.
3486
General Discussion / Re: Vertical misalignment of stemless notes
NWC 2 solves the problem. Setting "override stem length" to zero results in a stemless note.

Noteworthy (each version) scales its music font by 4/3. I have been able to get acceptable alignment by making the font size = (4/3 * the staff size). When between values, try them both.

The best way I have found to get stemless notes in 1.75b is to put rests in at position -9, Color: User2. Put the note heads in as text: Centered at next note/bar, prior to the rest.  Then set the color of User2 to white. Use a hidden staff for midi playback.

NWC2STDA has uses beyond this. I have requested that it be always available, scaled to align exactly to the ledger lines.

General Discussion / Re: I need help
Listen to a recording of it. If you are diligent, you may find one by Rachmaninoff himself. But I'm sure that Van Cliburn or Horowitz knew what to do.

BTW, there aren't 24 notes. Worst case is 12. Even so, you would have to have 6 fingers on each hand and a 4 octave reach to play it as written.

What you should have realized long before you developed the technical ability to even attempt this piece is that written notation is at best a rough approximation of performance. The same is true of poetry.

Rachmaninoff is indicating the effect that he is !B(striving for) knowing full well that it is not possible.  Still, given the tempo of this piece, getting close is well within the reach of concert pianists (I'm just a humble piano player).

Look at any number of impressionist pieces, Ravel's Jeux d'Eau comes to mind, for more "utterly unplayable" examples.

General Discussion / Re: Replay stutters
Try converting your files to midi. Play them with mplayer.exe rather than media player which can be a real memory hog.

Run msinfo32.exe and look at startup and running tasks. Some of them may be slowing things down.

hope this helps
3494
General Discussion / Re: HELP PLEASE URGENT
1) Make sure the font is installed. See Windows Help for this. Just because you have the file doesn't mean that it is installed.

2) Use Charmap to see what char is mapped to each key or alt+nnn sequence.  If Boxmarks doesn't appear as a font selection, go back to #1.

3) Use &File->Pa&ge Setup->Fonts to assign Boxmarks to one of the user fonts.

Hope this helps

So, if you are transposing from a "C" instrument, you need to end up with one more sharp or one fewer flat.
3497
General Discussion / Re: Midi Channel Help!!
Short answer is: Each instrument needs it's own channel. If you insert an instrument patch in a staff, it affects all other staves that share the same channel. Same goes for most multi-point controller options (pitch bend, expression, etc.) A notable exception is key velocity. Each note can have it's own velocity (but this is not easy with NoteWorthy).  That's why you need to replicate the right hand dynamics in the left hand for piano parts even if you set them to the same channel.

Longer answer is: Sometimes, you have to put the same instrument on two staves with different channels e.g., you want to bend one note of a saxophone but leave other sax notes unbent.  Other times, you can put several instruments on the same channel (and/or staff) as long as they never play at the same time. Visualize a bari sax player racking his sax to pick up a bass flute, then returning to the sax for that big ending. It could all go on the same channel with instrument patches in the appropriate places.

I'd like to make the tie in measure 46 go upward so it looks like the flat applies to "A" and not "B". Ditto in 47 so that it doesn't run through the sharp, but Public Preview 1m (Windows 98), won't let me.  I could probably use layer, but I don't feel that I should be required to.  The program should let put the tie where I want it and stop trying to analyze my work. Any ideas?
