NoteWorthy Composer Forum

Thanks you a lot.
I'll try to understand how the MakeReharsal works, and to use it.
In the mean time, I've understood the reason of the problem: each staff was mapped on the same MIDI channell, so it was impossible for NWC to play a different instrument or volume on the same channel. Probably it coud be obvious, by I still don't know enough about the program.
Again, thank you for your suggestion

What is "a final bar line?"

Hi Warren,

I'm not sure if you're asking about a UT for positioning the dynamics or for transposing.

For positioning the dynamics, one might be handy, but it's not that hard, thanks to the Find function.  All you need to do is search for one dynamic, change it, copy it to the clipboard and press F3 F3 until you find the same dynamic later on the staff, then hit Control-V.  F3 F3 again and repeat the process until you reach the end, bypassing any hit that isn't the particular dynamic you're changing.  Then go back, F3 for the next dynamic type, and repeat the exercise.  I think 8 passes gets you through all the dynamics [ppp pp p mp mf f ff fff] so it only takes a couple of minutes per staff. 

You also have to look out for vertical positioning of hairpins, which are affected by the height of the closest preceding dynamic or dynamic variance.

Nice work...you might consider using the nwc.txt options, where possible.

Since it's a user tool, I would have called it og_GlobalMod.lua.
There is not an official standard, but...

You would think so, but you would be wrong.  

I don't think there is a way for a tool to tell how long a note's stem is, if the override box is not already checked.

Nope. There are two user tools! 
One javascript and another lua.
You can find them here

I think what Warren was suggesting was a way to notate the flatted note on the layered staff so that it would play the B♭ correctly without displaying a redundant ♭ symbol on the printed layered score. (Unless you have no need to print it.)

Perhaps something like this?!?:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.75,Single)
|Clef|Type:Bass
|Note|Dur:32nd,Grace,Slur|Pos:b5|Opts:Muted|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:5|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:5|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

I need to work on lua myself. 

|Boundary|Style:NewSize items

This user tool only adjusts the Staff Property Instrument Transposition value; it doesn't adjust the transposition values of any instrument changes within each staff. These changes would also be needed to keep the score sounding right.

Bonus change: if any of the staves contain Ottavamatic.ms objects, these objects need to have their StaffTranspose parameters updated by the same number of steps during a staff transpose.  Stated differently, the object's StaffTranspose parameter is generally set to the same value as the Staff Properties Instrument Transposition setting for the staff it is on.

Also, I agree with @Flurmy  about the file naming; including the NWC plugin ID in the filename will confuse some users into thinking it's a custom object.

I cannot get this to be seen/loaded into nwc.  All other lua scripts install and work fine and update regularly.  This one cannot be "seen" by nwc.  Am I doing something wrong ?

That's very useful, especially for those of us that prepare choral rehearsal files.
Thanks Mike.

In PageTxtMaestro, line 135, change the centering calculation from:

Code: (lua) [Select · Download]

x = (pg_r - pg_l)/2 + cx

to

Code: (lua) [Select · Download]

x = (pg_r + pg_l)/2 + cx

Okay, I have looked at the PHP code a bit, and I think this might work:

User|Arpeggio.ms Speed=8
But it is only an educated guess, since I can't actually run it to try it yet.

NB: If <opt> is <opts>.<subopt> it will deal with subopt as a subtype of opt.
eg Dur.Dotted or Opts.VertOffset>=0

Can you post an example clip or screen shot that shows what you are trying to do?

Perhaps Melismatic can be coaxed to do what you are asking, by using a hidden muted grace note

The only caveat is that you need to stay away from Windows RT tablets.

You might want to add the following line to the top of your user tool:

Code: (Lua) [Select · Download]

-- $NWCUT$CONFIG: FileText $

Also, in order to support file samples, line 651/2 can be changed to:

Code: (Lua) [Select · Download]

nwcut.writeline("File name:"..(nwcut.getprop('FileName') or ''))

I think you meant that it should be decreased (i.e. set to 0)

If I have described anything incorrectly or left out an important step, please let me know.

If you don't need staff labels, the attachment shows an approach that I use.

Are you looking at a cached copy?
