General Discussion / Re: High(er) visibility notation font - NWC2HiVisLP.ttf
Here's a picture of the NWC2MusikDingsSans, NWC2HiVisLP, and NWC2SwingDings quarter rests, respectively. I can see quite a large form difference between the 1st two and the last one.
205
General Discussion / Re: Percussion
Also, if you use NWC2, you can get x-shaped note heads.
I don't know if anyone's written a user script (NWC2 only) to transform from the percussion notation to MIDI channel 10 notes.

General Discussion / Re: how mordente is inserted (~)
If what you're saying is you want a trill (tr~~~~), see http://nwc-scriptorium.org/faq.html#3.6 for a detailed explanation on how to make them sound. To get them shown, you'll have to download an appropriate font, configure it using File-Page Setup by going to the "Fonts" tab, and changing a "User Font", then go to Insert-Text, enter the trill characters in expression, and in display font, choose the font you changed.
For a font to use for trills, I recommend either one of Lawrie Pardy's -Dings fonts or BoxMarks.

General Discussion / Re: Back again ..... how to select text
- To get the score into your word-processor:
- From your file with the score, go to File-Print Preview
- For each page:
- Click the "Copy" button
- Paste into Word Processor of Choice
- Click the "Next" Button
- Then go to the end and add lyrics as you would normally add plain text.

General Discussion / Re: Writing user scripts
- What are contents of STDIN passed by NWC?
- What return codes should be set by the script and how does NWC react?
I think the contents of STDIN is NWC Clip Text.
214
General Discussion / Re: Writing user scripts
For starters, W3Schools has a good little tutorial.
If you need some solid reference, there is an official PHP Documentation at the PHP web site.
Good luck writing user scripts. (I'm still having trouble writing one that seperates the notes in a chord!)

Tips & Tricks / Re: Tired of searching for text symbols? Find them with this...
I changed stuff so that it works better for the fonts I usually use, and modified the staff labels, but I lack the perseverence to create one from scratch, so thanks again.

General Discussion / Limited Features when making Band/Orchestral Scores
However, in NWC or NWC2, you can only have the brace tops/bottoms at the top and bottom of the entire score, not in groups.<Image Link> (I know you can force a bar break by making an empty staff set to Standard and layering it with the above staff.)
Any reccomendations?
218
General Discussion / Re: Errors in the MusikDings and SwingDings suites
When I use NWC2SwingDings as the system font, it works fine with the notes without any workarounds...are you talking about the actual font SwingDings, or the entire SwingDings suite?

General Discussion / Re: Serious bug in length of Whole Notes (But Not Rests)
Fortunately 5/4 is not very common (unless you're playing Mission Impossible...
221
General Discussion / Re: Serious bug in length of Whole Notes (But Not Rests)
He didn't seem to see that the time signature ( the first thing I look at when reading a piece) dictates the # of beats (and type of beats) required in each measure and therefore the duration of the whole rest.
That's what I've been saying all along. (Unless I understand what you're saying wrong.)
What I'm trying to say is that the length of a whole note is equal to the top note of the key signature. That's also what is in one measure.
Look at this:
Top staff:
Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)Bottom Staff:
|TimeSig|Signature:3/4
|Rest|Dur:Whole
|Bar
|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:0

Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|TimeSig|Signature:3/4
|Rest|Dur:Half
|Rest|Dur:4th
|Bar
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0^
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:0
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
That's what I was talking about at the start.

General Discussion / Serious bug in length of Whole Notes (But Not Rests)
From what I've always heard a whole rest/note does not take up the amount of beats in the lower section of the time signature, but should fill up the whole measure?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

General Discussion / Re: Grace note positioning bug
Er, should clarify: When I said one atop the other, I just meant "In the same system", not "Layered"
229
General Discussion / Re: Grace note positioning bug
Layering would be one staff on top of the other.
In the same system, what Adam wants, would be something like the two staffs of a piano.
Got it?

235
General Discussion / Top Staff Excluded Positioning?
This is useful in multi-part scores where the parts are also printed individually, such as I have a trill that is the right length in the full score, but it extends a measure further then it should in the individual part.
236
General Discussion / Re: Absolute Positioning for Text
I want the slashes centered on the head.
Actually, I want them centered on the stem. Don't know why I did that.
Either way, having micro-positioning does sound more like a Finale thing.
237
General Discussion / Re: Absolute Positioning for Text
Hi Kahlman,
With a downward note stem, I think you can achieve that by a right justify, at next note/bar, and pad the entry with a blank space or two after it. Try this:
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Text|Text:"o "|Font:User1|Pos:2|Justify:Right|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:Half,Dotted|Pos:6^|Opts:Muted
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
I want the slashes centered on the head.
Also, what you have is sort of a backwards version of what I have. (Graphical Illustration attached.)
238
General Discussion / Re: Absolute Positioning for Text
By the way, Ctrl-Shift-I just brings up the piece information.
239
General Discussion / Absolute Positioning for Text
The best I could get was Best Fit, which had it like so:
Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Text|Text:"o"|Font:User1|Pos:2
|Note|Dur:Half,Dotted|Pos:6^|Opts:Muted
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Is there a way that I can absolutely position it?

General Discussion / Re: Quick way to transpose notes?
If you are simply trying to adjust certain notes on the staff, you will find that if you highlight the notes you want to move, press and hold down both the Ctrl and Shift keys and use the up or down arrow keys to move the selected notes, this will work.
Actually, that just moves them up or down the staff, it does not actually affect it in half-steps
241
General Discussion / Re: Quick way to transpose notes?
Wouldn't it be easier to insert an instrument patch with the transposition included?
242
General Discussion / Re: Quick way to transpose notes?
Either way, I wish that there was a menu option for it.
