Just a FYI, EVERY PgTxt that is going to be printed in any print MUST have a different name.
That said, when I write a set of charts for, say, a big band, I have a set of standard PgTxt objects that are at the start of every staff. they are all identical and use variables to present different content. One attribute they all have is that they are only visible on the top staff.
That way if I hide all the other staves so I can print, say, the Guitar part, it becomes the top staff and all the PgTxt objects on it are active, then I can hide it and unhide, say, the Bari part. Again, all the PgTxt objects on the Bari part become active and work as intended.
PgTxt objects can have any name you want to give them, you aren't limited to the standard names. E.G. I have Subtitle and Subtitle2 in my standard set. They reference variables defined in the Info dialogue, just like all the other ones I use. This way I can just create a new file from my chosen template and all the objects are pre-defined - I never have to edit them, excluding exceptional circumstances

PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SOLVED. MUST CHANGE THE SECOND PAGETXT.NW OBJECT FIELD "Custom1" TO "Custom2" OR SOME VARIANT.
I am transposing a brass quintet for sax quintet. Some parts will be 2 pages long.
I'm still not grokking PageTxtMaestro.nw and PageTxt.nw with more than one PageTxt.nw object in the song.
I need to show the part name (instrument) at the top left corner of pages 1 and 2, and to show the song title and page number only on the second page (the song title on page 1 is generated by File Info - Title).
This gives me the part name on both pages 1 and 2 (hurray!!!)
Adding a second PgTxt.nw for the title and page number on just the second page displays those just on page 2, which is what I want, but prevents the first PgTxt.nw (the instrument name) from displaying on either page 1 or 2.
I tried moving the second PgTxt.nw object to a later bar, with and without a new PageTxtMaestro.nw object, but the result is the same.
The settings for the first PgTxt are: Class: Standard Text: PART 1 SOPRAO SAX Page Style: Custom1 Display Font PageText Font Size 1 X Page Location Left X Offset 0 Y Page Location Top Y Offset 0 Page Display Control All Block Alignment <default>
The setting for the second PgTxt are: Class: Standard Text: Gee Officer Krupke p.2 Page Style: Custom1 Display Font PageText Font Size 1 X Page Location Right X Offset 0 Y Page Location Top Y Offset 0 Page Display Control Even Pages Block Alignment <default>
Why does the first PgTxt disappear when the second one is added, and how can I make this object work?
This instruction doesn't make it clear whether you can have just one PageTxtMaestro on a staff to serve more than one PgTxt object, or , if you have more than one PgTxt object on that staff, you need more than one PageTxtMaestro objects.
I've always put only one PageTxtMaestro object only, even with many PgTxt objects.

Add an object of type PageTxtMaestro.nw into the front of your top staff. This object does all of the printing work, so you need to add it first. Note that your top staff must contain at least one note before PageTxtMaestro can do its job.
If I put a PageTxtMaestro.nw on multiple staves is because they can become the top staff when printing parts.
PageTxtMaestro enables PageTxt objects to be displayed on each printed page. You must add an instance of this object before PageTxt objects will show on the printed page

I believe the issue is that the PageTxt objects do not do the actual drawing of text; that's done by the PageTxtMaestro object. So I believe you will need to change the color of that object to effect the colored text. Unfortunately, that means that all of the text it draws will be that color.

I'm creating a score with two staves. The first one has [Staff Properties.../Visual/Color] set to [Highlight 1], which is red. The staff is red, but various PgTxt items at the beginning of the first staff are still displayed in black. It has [Staff Properties/Visual/Layer with Next Staff] checked. Ther second staff has Default for everything. I want one of the PgTxt items to print in red. If I select that PgTxt item and open [Properties.../Visibility/Item color] I can select [Highlight 1], which is red. The PgTxt item in the editor turns red. But that text when displaying the page is still black. Does PgTxt not honor [Item color]? Is there a way to change the printed color of a single PgTxt item?

One day I'll get around to clearing NWC1.75 out. Thank you to everyone who has chipped in. I still have my CD and I have the plug-in CD drive, and of course there are your suggestions to work with, so I'm not really too worried. Many thanks, once again.

Good morning. In order to do the upgradev from Windows10 to Windows11 I had to replace my computer by a laptop. Because there is no CD or DVD reader I cannot reinstall my NoteWorthyComposer program.program. Is it possible to send me an installer that does not need a CD? Many thanks if you can help me. My e-mail address: gilbert.deforche@skynet.be Gilbert.
If you still have your windows 10 pc, you may convert your cd into an iso file, copy it to your windows 11 pc and mount it as a virtual drive. I don't remember which software can do it, but look on the web and you should be able to find a decent tool. Or even easier, just copy all files on the cd to an usb stick, plug it in your windows 11pc an start the installer (if that works too). I never received a CD, but downloaded an installer file when I bought it and I kept copies of it on several places which enabled me to install it on different versions of windows (7,8,8.1,10)
