General Discussion / Import from the song book
Last post by FrankSit -
The way we Indonesian learn singing, is using number note which can be made in the NoteworthyComposer. My problem is I have to key in the note to NoteWorthy and it takes time and less accuracy. Is there any way like we import it to Noteworthy nowadays?.

Thank you if anyone can give me an update.

They could be put on a separate layered staff with hidden rests (or stemless mute blank noteheads :-) ).
So do ChordPlay and GuitarChord.  :)

And a user tool could probably be written that converts the lyrics into ChordPlay objects.
Probably, but at least three times I deemed it too hard for me.  :-[
Anyone wants to try?

I would agree that objects like ChordPlay and GuitarChord have certain advantages over using lyrics for chords, but there is something attractive about entering chords as lyrics. One advantage is that they can be entered quickly and easily copied/pasted in bulk. They could be put on a separate layered staff with hidden rests (or stemless mute blank noteheads :-) ). And a user tool could probably be written that converts the lyrics into ChordPlay objects.

I have very, very often to shift parts for transposing instruments. Whole parts, not just chords.
If you use the ChordPlay plugin, the chords are automatically transposed too.

My old solution: I wrote the chords as text.
With the embedded user tool, ChordPlay can convert the chords in the text to ChordPlay objects, so you get the previous case.

Often I use a staff that contains only the chords (together, of course with many invisible items, usually bars and rests) layered on the staff that needs the chords.
To create this staff you can use pe_EmptyBars.vbs or AddEmptyStaff.js and then add the ChordPlay objects.

Bad practice to use the lyrics for chords.
Yes, you can easily copy them on a different staff, but then you have to set "lyrics=never" in a lot of notes, I suppose, not to mention that those staves can not have lyrics...  :D

And all without AI! :-D

I needed to transpose a lot of chords in concert pitch for tranposing instrument parts.  They were all in Lyric 1 of the top staff. 

Rather than tranposing them manually I had GhatGTP do the work. :

transpose the chord symbols for me. 

 and

Quote
Transpose the same chords 9 semitones

The AI did the job very quickly and accurately.  Then I just had to copy the results in the Lyric 1s of each transposing intrument part.  Knowing how slowly I'd do this manually, I figure AI saved me about an hour's work.

One downside to mention for Linux Mint with a virtual machine on windows xp and NWC :

Chasing notes doesn't work well. The visual information is one or two beats behind the sound.
Not perfect, but a minor issue.
