General Discussion / How to mute a note in 1 verse.

2012-12-16 07:54 pm

In the attached song (Frosty the Snowman), the note in measure 58 has only to be sung in the second verse. Is there a way to accomplish this?

General Discussion / Screen doesn't follow the music in the viewer

2012-10-25 05:25 pm

I'm using Noteworthy Composer version 2.5.3. and the viewer version 2.5.6a. I'm member of a choir and some of the other singers use only the viewer to rehearse the songs.

For one song I recently entered (see attachment) and in wich I used the new features (MMR and Boundary change), the viewer doesn't behave as it should. When playing a song,as the music reaches the right edge of the screen, there are 2 problems, one minor and one more serious:

if the last measure on the screen is incomplete, the screen is shifted only when the music has reached the first note of the next measure
and worse: when there is a double bar reached, the screen is shifted only when the music has reached the next double bar

In other songs the behavior is correct, so I assume the problem is caused by the new features I used.
Has someone experienced similar problems?

General Discussion / Multi-measure rest - playback options

2012-06-22 01:30 pm

The multi-measure rest is a very handy feature, a specially in combination with the collapsing staff option in the boundary change command.

But what I miss is an option where one could specify that a MMR should be handled as a single measure when played back (and in the viewer), in the case where all the played staves contain MMR's.

This would be very useful for the rehearsal files I create for my choir. I make several files, one for each voice (TTBB) and 1 for ALL voices.

Now one has either to wait in silence till the MMR is fully played, or stop, click behind the MMR and then restart.

Moreover, since some of the choir members use an Apple, I also create midi-files. In that case there's only silence during the MMR. So this option should also be used for exporting to midi-files.

I don't think I am the only one that should find this option usefull.
Or am I?

General Discussion / Fermata - odd behaviour

2011-04-27 09:57 am

The example below is the start of the song 'Runaround Sue', arrangement of Jeff Funk.
In the first staff there are fermatae on the last (half) note of a measure; in the second staff fermatae on whole notes. As a result the duration of the notes in the to staffs is not the same anymore !

General Discussion / Local and master repeat / special endings

2006-10-15 04:42 pm

Quote from the help File :

Quote

Local Repeat Open/Close: A special form of sectional repeat symbols. These allow a section to be repeated for a specified number of iterations without specifying special endings for each iteration. These loops can be nested inside a master loop which contains special endings. Special endings do not apply to local repeats. Attempts to combine local repeats and special endings will yield unpredictable results. Unlike master repeats, local repeat loops are performed even after a D.S. or D.C. flow direction has been executed.

Master Repeat Open/Close: Sectional repeat symbols for repeating a section. Each repeat should specify a special ending prior to the closing repeat symbol (see Special Ending Command). The closing repeat mark is ignored after a D.S. or D.C. flow redirection has been initiated.

So if I understand it well:
- Only in a 'local repeat close', you can specify how many repeats are needed
- Only in a 'master repeat close', special endings are taken into account

My questions:
- What if I want three iterations, each with a different ending ?
- More general :How can one use the 3th until 7th special endings that are possible to mark?
- Is this specific for Noteworthy or is it due to music theory (which I don't know much about) ?
