General Discussion / Re: Bar Numbering using the bar number user plug in
Last post by fathafluff -
I recently wanted a bar number at the start of each staff. I inserted BarCounter.hmm at the beginning of the staff with Pos: 7; Starting bar number: 1; Hide starting bar number checked; Every n-th bar: 0.  In what would become the fifth staff line I wanted to number ten bars 1-10. I added another BarCounter.hmm with Pos: -8.5; Starting bar number: 1; Every n-th bar: 1; Excluded bars: 11-999. The bars were numbered as expected, but the original entry was cancelled, so there were no more bar numbers at the start of the rest of the staves. The only way I could get all staff lines numbered was to replace the first entry with BarCounter.nw. So I would say they do work together.
Improvement to .hmm that would be nice: Allow Every n-th bar: 1 to not cancel Every n-th bar: 0.
Another improvement I would like: If Every n-th bar was not 0, provide an option to move the bar number a distance to the right (or left, though I'm not sure that would ever be needed) of the bar line, or to the first note or rest in the bar. Or to print the number in the middle of the measure, but I suspect that calculation would be difficult or impossible.

Now I just have to discover the entire architecture of the choruses 1.4, 2.3, etc.
Maybe the following is helpful: Before I wrote the "endings" in the score, I created this table - x means "this part plays in this verse":

Code: [Select · Download]
          A  B  C  D  Coda
Verse 1   x  x  x     
Verse 2      x  x  x  
Verse 3      x  x  x  
Verse 4   x  x        x

An "ending" that contains the number N. is, in NWC, actually not an ending, but a "play marker" that says "play this on the Nth repetition". As each verse is a repetition, I simply(?) put in markers according to this table: A plays in repetitions 1 and 4; B plays in repetitions 1, 2, 3, and 4; etc.

After much observation of Harlad Müller's nwctxt, whom I thank again, I figured out the trick of the notes in parentheses and the eighth-note rests on quarter notes. I had changed the time signature to 7/8 by muting the extra note, but it didn't work.
So far, okay.

It's always useful to periodically browse the forum; you always discover something interesting. Have a good week everyone.

Maybe Noel was referring to "BarCounter.nw" and "BarCounter.hmm", even if I don't see why they shouldn't both work as expected.

Yes.  I put the barcounter.nw at the very beginning and then barcounter.hmm where I wanted the change.  Just like PageTxt and PageTxtMaestro.  But it did not give me the desired results.

Problem is now solved.

General Discussion / Text Allignment
Last post by fathafluff -
If I insert text at the beginning of the first staff (before the clef or signatures) with left alignment, it shows up aligned with the left edge of the staff. If I have a later bar with force system break, and add text immediately following the bar, the text aligns after the (automatically inserted) clef.  Is there an easy way to get it to align with the left edge of the staff? I can change the text alignment to center or right, and insert spaces before or after the text, but the spacing amount is very trial and error, depending on the width of the text.
I just discovered that I can insert another clef after the system breaking bar, and that seems to work, but is that the only way?

Nice trick, Harald!

Sligltly off topic: years ago I saw many scores in which there were the instructions (in Italian) "from (the glyph for Segno) to (the glyph for Coda) then follows", but lately I see only, as per NWC, the glyph for Segno, the indication "To Coda", the command "D.S. al Coda" and the gliph and text "Coda".
Was it an old way that became obsolete or a "local only" (Italian) use?

e.g. Something like this:
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble

Thank you so much, my friend Harald! Your message catches me while I've been (super)busy for several hours transcribing this "very complicated score." Yours, which I'll study carefully, shows the hand of a professional! I'm not even familiar with some of the solutions you proposed. In the measures with the eighth note in parentheses, which increases the tempo by 1/8, I had initially considered changing the tempo for that measure to 7/8, but then the "rhythm" of the singing (which I've heard many times on YouTube from different choirs) was altered in an unfeasible way. I'll study your solution for this too. Now I want to finish my work. I've decided to transcribe the ENTIRE score from beginning to end as if there were no refrains. In practice, I've gone from 20 measures to 48! It's too complicated and difficult for me to work on the refrains. Then I'll work on the graphic aspect. Thanks.
