I think you would be better off iterating through the table using pairs(..) rather than a counting loop.

Thanks Mike, pairs() does it!

User Tools / Re: Lua as user tool script

2015-02-04 09:03 am

I realise now I didn't show the output of my coding. Here are both the code and the output

Code: [Select · Download]

local function ShowVar(name, var)
	if Testing then
		nwcut.warn(name.." ==> ", var, "\n")
	end -- if
end -- ShowVar
 
local line = item:__tostring()
ShowVar("line", line)
local durs = item.Opts.Dur
ShowVar("#durs",#durs)
for i = 1 , #durs do
	ShowVar("dur"..i , durs[i])
end -- for

Output:

Quote

line ==> |Note|Opts:Stem=Down|Pos:1|Dur:Half
#durs ==> 0

I had setlevel(2). That's why I included to _tostring line, to show the contents of item.
The result shows that the item.Opts.Dur is nil. Why isn't it = "Half"?

I think you need to put [ ] around the keys in your assignment (i.e. around the "16th", etc.). Also, you probably want to change 32th to 32nd

The square brackets do the job! I also changes 32th into 32nd, thanks.

Quote from: Mike Shawaluk – 2015-02-03 03:33 pm

Mind you, I have not done much with nwcut, but I think your problem is that Dur is not part of the Opts segment of the nwctext. (Opts only contains the Stem=Down part.) Try changing "item.Opts.Dur" to "item.Dur".

That's not the reason. For accessing the Stem, I have to use "item.Opts.Opts.Stem".
Thanks anyway, I'm sure Rick will come with the answer soon

User Tools / Re: Lua as user tool script

Two other problems:
1)

Code: [Select · Download]

local NoteLengths = { "16th" = 48, "32th" = 24, "4th" = 192, "64th" = 12, "8th" = 96, "Half" = 384, "Whole" = 768 }

gives this error:

Code: [Select · Download]

 '}' expected near '='

Code: [Select · Download]

local function ShowVar(name, var)
	if Testing then
		nwcut.warn(name.." ==> ", var, "\n")
	end -- if
end -- ShowVar

local line = item:__tostring()
ShowVar("line", line)
local durs = item.Opts.Dur
ShowVar("#durs",#durs)
for i = 1 , #durs do
	ShowVar("dur"..i , durs[i])
end -- for

I expected 'durs' to be a string = "Half", but when I treated it as a string I got an error stating that it was a table. So I included the ShowVar() calls, with following result:

Quote

line ==> |Note|Opts:Stem=Down|Pos:1|Dur:Half
#durs ==> 0

What did I do wrong?

User Tools / Re: Lua as user tool script

2015-01-27 09:23 am

My first problems:
1) I want to write several lines on stderr, so I included a string "\r\n" (return/newline) but that has no effect
See line 4 in:

Code: [Select · Download]

nwcut.setlevel(2)
local DynamicFound = false
for i = 1, #arg do
	nwcut.warn(arg[i], "\r\n")
end -- for i
for item in nwcut.items() do
	if item:Is("Dynamic") then
		if arg[1] == "Absolute" then
			item.Opts.Pos = arg[2]
		elseif  arg[1] == 'Relative' then
			item.Opts.Pos = item.Opts.Pos + arg[2]
		elseif arg[1] == 'Keep_position_first_dynamic' then
			local FirstPos = DynamicFound and FirstPos or item.Opts.Pos
			item.Opts.Pos = FirstPos
		end --if arg
	end -- if item
	nwcut.writeline(item)
end --for item

This is what I get in stderr:

Quote

Absolute -2

This is what I expected:

Quote

Absolute
-2

2) How can I use the return codes as explained in http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/nwc2/help/intro_usertooldev.htm
I want to use return code 1 in case of an error and 0 for a warning. Reason : with nwcut.warn, the user can click 'OK' or 'Cancel'. I don't want that in case of an error.
I found out : http://lua.noteworthycomposer.com/nwcut.html##(nwcut.const).rc_Error

User Tools / Lua as user tool script

User Tools / Layering voices

2015-01-17 03:47 pm

In many song sheets for choirs, each group of two voices is on 1 staff. In NWC, you can do this by entering chords, or by layering each group of two staffs.But both methods are not ideal:
– Entering chords is not very easy + you don’t always have control over the stems of the individual notes of a chord, which is necessary to differentiate between the two voices.
– When layering, you not only have to set the stems. In order not to have a messy result after layering, you also have to set the properties ‘Use stem for articulation’, ‘Slur direction’ and ‘Tie direction’.
This can easily be done by selecting a whole staff. But that’s not always enough: you have to check the whole staff for situations where you have to set the properties ‘Extra note spacing’ and/or ‘Extra accidental spacing':
– when the distance between the note on the top staff and the note on the bottom equals 1,
– when you have notes with accidentals,
– when the top note is lower then the bottom note,
– when you have chords.
This tool takes care of all this (with the active staff as top staff and the next as bottom staff).

In addition:
– The label and the abbreviated label of the top staff is modified by concatenating with those of the bottom staff, since the former are used when printing the layered staffs. (When the labels are equal, there will be no concatenation.)
– If both staffs have lyrics, the property ‘Placement’ will be set to ‘Top’, resp. ‘Bottom’.

By choosing the action ‘Unlayer’, you can undo all the actions described above.

Installation instructions:
- Download and save the file in YourScriptsFolder and change the extention' txt' to 'js'.
- Open a NoteWorthy File
- Choose ‘Tools’, ‘User Tool…’ or enter Alt-F8
- Click ‘New…’
- Enter the name of the tool and choose a group or enter the name of a new group

The specific error message is "Command process failed"

Please check that your command line starts with WScript + space

Quote from: FRbass – 2014-12-16 11:42 am

Is there a special place I should store the MetronomeStaff.js file? Right now it is still in my download folder.

You can store the file where you want, as long as you specify the right path in your command line.
So your command line should look like "WScript C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Downloads\MetronomeStaff.js <PROMPT:Action:=|Make_Rehearsal_File|Undo|Help|TestMake> <PROMPT:Foreground Volume:=*120]> <PROMPT:Background Volume:=*80>."

I hope this was helpful.

Thank you so much for the tool, I downloaded it just now. Unfortunately when I ran the metronome I got an error message:-
"STDERR"

Hello FRbass,

I have a few questions:

-Didn't you get a specific error message?
-Did you install correctly ?
-Do you get the same result when you run the tool on another file?

User Tools / Re: Make Rehearsal File

2014-12-14 08:49 pm

I added a new option 'Undo'.

This implies a modified command line: "Wscript YourScriptsFolder\MakeRehearsalFile.js <PROMPT:Action:=|Make_Rehearsal_File|Undo|Help> <PROMPT:Foreground Volume:=*120]> <PROMPT:Background Volume:=*80>" (You may use other pre-filled values then 120 and 80.)

The action 'Undo' is not really a recovery; you should have saved your file before using the action 'Make_Rehearsel_File', if you want that.
Instead, the result will be:
- The staffs in the "Piano" group: remain unchanged.
- For the other staffs:
   - Staff Volume = ForeGround Volume;
  - Dynamics with constant (highest)Velocity, and Volumes calculated using Foreground Volume and the Staff Velocities ;
  - StereoPan = 64;
  - StaffColor = 'Default'.

General Discussion / Re: "Force system break" appearance - feature request?

2014-12-09 04:21 pm

You can try 'Insert/Boundary Change/Gap the staff' just before the last bar line before the system break, insert an extra bar line before the gap and make the original invisible.

There seemed to be some problems with my website, where I had copied the code of my tools as text in specifiic webpages.

User Tools / Courtesy Accidentals

2014-11-06 11:01 am

Update: Don't use the links below, use http://opagust.wordpress.com/my-user-tools/ instead and click on the name of the tool to download (changing the extension into '.js').

http://opagust.wordpress.com/courtesyaccidentals-js/

With this tool you can create courtesy accidentals according to the Key Signature. It acts on a selection, if present, or on the whole active staff.

The courtesy accidentals are inserted as text items,
- with the font StaffSymbols(normal size) or StaffCueSymbols(small size);
- with or without parentheses;
- repeated or not if the same note occurs more than once within a measure.

If you choose 'Undo', all 'texted' accidentals are removed, regardless of the choices on size, parentheses or repeats.

To download the tool from the link above :
~~- Select and copy all the text within the frame~~
~~- Open a text editor like Wordpad or a Java Script Editor and past the copied text~~
- Click on the name of the tool
- Save as ’CourtesyAccidentals.js' in YourScriptFolder

To Install in NoteWorthy:
- Open a NoteWorthy File
- Choose ‘Tools’, ‘User Tool…’ or enter Alt-F8
- Click ‘New…’
- Enter the name of the tool and choose a group or enter the name of a new group
- Command Line: "Wscript YourScriptsFolder\CourtesyAccidentals.js <PROMPT:Action:=|Create_CourtesyAccidentals|Undo|Help> <PROMPT:Parenthesize?=|Yes|No> <PROMPT:Repeat in same measure?=|Yes|No> <PROMPT:Size:=|Normal|Small>"
- Input Type: Clip Text
- Under 'Options: Uncheck 'Returns File Text'

P.S.I also modified the tool http://opagust.wordpress.com/changeclef-js/ to also move the courtesy accidentals, inserted by CourtesyAccidentals.js.

General Discussion / Re: The downside of selectors

2014-11-01 10:06 am

Quote

It's been previously documented that the selectors can be customized by the user, so it would not be difficult to add custom shortcut keys to the dynamics selector.

I know that the shortcut for bringing up a selector can be customized in the selector file via "Title(&s)" in File info.

But how can I assign shortcuts to the individual items in a selector?

You might want to consider editing earlier posts to remove pervious versions. Anytime someone visits your thread, they can only get the L & G version (latest and greatest) when you remove and replace attachments or use some other method.

Point taken.

I removed and replaced the attachments.

Warren, did you use my latest version? It handles Treble, Bass, Tenor, Alto and Percussion. That are all the clefs I know of.
In addition, my first version didn't handle notes and chords with accidentals correctly, which is showed in your outputclip.

User Tools / Make Rehearsal File

2014-10-26 01:21 pm

This tool is intended to make seperate rehearsal scores for the different voices of polyphonic songs.

Before running this tool, make a group "Piano" for the instrumental staffs.

When running the tool, you have to to set two volumes, for 'Foreground' and 'Background'.

The result will be:

- The Staff Velocities(DynVel) from the first visible staff will be copied to the next staffs.

- For the staffs in the "Piano" group:
- Staff Volume = BackGround Volume;
- Default Dynamics (with varying Velocities and constant Volume);
- StereoPan = 64;
- StaffColor = 'Default';

- For the active staff:
- Staff Volume = Foreground Volume;
- Dynamics with constant (highest)Velocity, and Volumes calculated using Foreground Volume and the Staff Velocities ;
- StereoPan = 0;
- StaffColor = 'Highlight 2';

- For the other staffs:
- Staff Volume = Background Volume;
- Dynamics with constant (highest) Velocity, and Volumes calculated using Background Volume and the Staff Velocities ;
- StereoPan = 127;
- StaffColor = 'Default' (unless the StaffName = "All" >> 'Highlight 2');

There are 3 execution modes : 'Modify', 'Show' and 'Help'. 'Modify' is the normal mode, 'Show' shows the generated output in stdout (without modifying your file), 'Help' shows the Helptext.

Installation instructions:
Command Line: "Wscript YourScriptsFolder\MakeRehearsalFile.js ~~<PROMPT:Foreground Volume:=*120> <PROMPT:Background Volume:=*80> <PROMPT:Execution Mode:=|Modify|Show|Help>~~<PROMPT:Action:=|Make_Rehearsal_File|Undo|Help> <PROMPT:Foreground Volume:=*120]> <PROMPT:Background Volume:=*80>" (You may use other pre-filled values then 120 and 80.)" (You may use other pre-filled values then 120 and 80.)
Input Type: File Text
Under 'Options: Check 'Returns File text'

Don't forget to change the extension to ".js" after downloading.

Any comments are bug reports are welcome.

02/01/2017: Attached a lua version of the tool.
------------------------------------------------
Updated lua version 20/11/2017
* New Parameters:
- Foreground Staves : one or more staff names (instead of active staff + staff named 'All')
- Foreground Color (instead of fixed 'Highlight 2')
- What to Color :key signature & clef or whole staff
* You can add arguments to the command line to set the value or default for one or more parameters.
Syntax: <parameter>=<value>['?']. The arguments pairs must be seperated by 1 or more spaces. There must not be a space within an argument.
If an argument ends with a '?', the value will be used as default in the dialog, otherwise the value will be assiged to the parameter, which will be skipped in the dialog.
See 'Help on command line parameters' for description of the paramters and valid values.).

User Tools / Re: How do I install a new user tool in Windows 8.1?

Quote from: David Palmquist – 2014-10-26 09:56 am

Tried that, thanks, Rick. Doesn't work.

When I open the user tool menu, I get a window headed User Tool Description. This has three blank fields. The first one, Group, has an arrow, but when it's selected, a small window opens. I think it should have a list of the four Groups that show in the User Tool Description, but it's blank. The next field, Name, is blank too.

You have to make your own group(s) for the tools you install, so just fill in the Group field with whatever you want. In the name field, fill in how you want the tool to be presented in the User Tool Window when you select your group.

User Tools / Re: Dynamics, Velocity and Volume

2014-10-16 04:04 pm

Seems we both are doing similar things, Warren.
I noticed your tool swaps the velocity and volume values. I used Tina Billet's formula to calculate the volumes.

Let's leave it to the forum readers to choose which suits them the best.

User Tools / Dynamics, Velocity and Volume

2014-10-15 12:46 pm

If you want to know all about dynamics, velocity and volume, you should read Tina Billet's document on the NWC Scriptorium http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful/dynamics.pdf. (If you get "Forbidden File Access", copy the link into a new browser window.)

It also describes how to change the default dynamics to vary in volume rather than velocity, so that crescendo and decrescendo not only effect the loudness of each note at the start, but also varies while the note is playing. It contains a formula for calculating the right dynamic volumes, using the wanted Velocities and maximum staff volume. It then describes how to change the dynamics using the built in User Tool adp_GlobalMod.This tool is to be executed for each staff individually. That's because at the time the document was made, User Tools could only work on 1 staff at a time.

In the present version of NWC2 a User Tool can work on an entire file (Input Type 'File Text'). So I have tried to make it somewhat easier. It takes a few additonal steps, but they have to be done only once , or once per existing NWC file. So here is what I suggest:
1.   Decide what for you are the ideal Velocities (DynVel) and Channel Volume. You can set the velocities by making your own itree, as explained in Tina Billet's document. This is to be done only once.
2.   If you want it to take effect on an existing NWC file, you should do this via the Staff Properties, Instrument Tab. You may also want to change the Channel Volume (Midi Tab). This is to be done only for the top staff. You can then copy and paste the new Volumes and Velocities using my tool 'CopyVolVel.js'.
3.    Then use my tool 'SetDynVol.js' to change the Dynamic Volumes, according to Tina's formula "(Velocity * default volume)/highest dynamic velocity" for calculating the required volume of a specific dynamic.

That's what you can do for your existing NWC files. Next you can make your own custom Dynamics selector that you can use when making a new NWC file:
1.   Move your mouse cursor over the Dynamics selector, rightclick and choose "Customize...". The selector file will open.
2.   Save a copy: go to 'File'/'Save as..." in your Config Folder (*) and choose a non existing name of the form '10#.nwc', where # = 0, a, b, c, d, e or f (100.nwc being selector 11, ... 10f.nwc selector 16).
3.   Do step 2 and 3 above on this file.
4.   If you want to use a specific short cut key, say 'v' (for volume), change the title from "Dynamics Selector (&d)" to "Dynamics Selector (&v)"
(*) If you don't know where to find your Config Folder, go to 'Tools/Options...' and select the 'Foldesr' tab

In attachment, you find the 2 tools mentioned above. Don't forget to change the extension to '.js' after downloading.

General Discussion / Dynamics, Volume and Velocities

2014-09-29 09:50 am

I'm working on a tool to change Dynamic Volumes according to Tina Billet's document http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful/dynamics.pdf, in order to have a (de)crescendo has also affect during the playing of long notes.
So I will use her formula "(Velocity * default volume)/highest dynamic velocity" for calculating the required volume of a specific dynamic.
But I'm not sure about the velocities: shall I leave them unchanged, or do I have to use the highest dynamic velocity for each dynamic?
Example: If the default volume is set to 120 and DynVal = (25,35,45,55,68,80,92,108), we become, using the formula, a value of 50 for the volume of dynamic 'p'. That's clear. But should it become "p[-, 50]" (which will be the same as p[45,50], or is p[108,50] the correct result?

Thanks in advance for all expert advices!

Quote from: Haymo – 2014-09-24 04:52 pm

Just a note:
Bryan Creer posted a "Clef Change" php some years ago, which includes (if I remember correctly) Tenor and Alto clefs, with option of octave up / down.

The scores we use for the songs of our choir only have Treble and Bass clefs. For the other clefs, I didn't know the exact position. After a look into the script of Bryan Creer, I could modify mine to include also Tenor, Alto and Percussion.

The result is that there are two tools now that do exactly the same. The difference lies in the script language. (PHP seems to me a little obscure, so I prefer Java Script.)
In attachment you find the new version. (Don't forget to change the extension 'txt' to 'js')
