General Discussion / Re: Happy Easter
Last post by hmmueller -
The same to all of you!

NWC is still the workhorse of my music. Since Thursday, I have played and conducted in five services, with 3 different ensembles, for which I wrote two- and three-part arrangements of Easter songs. And during the week, I wrote music for crank organs - for a theater performance, then some old songs from Luxemburg that might be forgotten otherwise, and an overdue "Fasnet march" (carnival march). The rolls have been punched and are in the mail.

Whew!

May you rise from your difficulties, both small and large, and may the light of hope illuminate your thoughts and actions.
Happy Easter.

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.
