It seems the "NWC User" isn't recognised anymore.
Furthermore, "Sorry, no new users possible".

Thank you.
Searching the manual (all in English  :'( ), I found the answer.
From a "Metodo di teoria musicale" (Music Theory Method) I regularly use, I found the term "sforzato" with the fork above or below the note.
Have a nice day.

Hi Lorenzo,
it sure is.  Simply use the caret <Shift+6> as you did in your question.  It will automatically flip when below the note.

I found it interesting that you call it "sforzato" - I've always understood it to be "marcato"*
I've only ever seen "sfz" and variants (e.g. sffz" etc.) for "sforzato"

* played full note length in classical literature, but short in jazz and often contemporary literature.

General Discussion / Strong accent
Last post by lawrroc -
Good morning, I came across some notes with the "sforzato" sign in Italian (I think "strong accent" in English), that is, that vertical fork above or below the note: ^. Is it possible to transcribe it with NWC?
Thanks.

- dealing with empty staves
- replacing characters '<' and '>' with their unicode equivalent in the musicxml file
- cancel button in setup windows didn't work

* changing title didn't work
* filling copyrights didn't work when there is no <rights> tag in the inputfile
* staves table items mustn't be editable

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
