Often in piano score some notes are beamed between the rh staff and the lefth staff. Can I simulate this with NWC?
Short answer: no.
Longer answer: under some conditions, using V1.70. By hiding the rests and adjusting staff spacing, you can approximate this (I say approximate, since you can't actually join the beams; however, you can at least make them pretty close to being on the same line.)
Pity. This particular feature is pretty much a necessity for keyboard polyphony and multi-octave arpeggiation. (Imagine notating the 48 without it - messy, very messy.)
Is there any indication that the folks at Noteworthy are considering adding this in the near future?
I remember a notation/midi generation program called Lime able to that. Pity that I don't currently have it nor I know where to get.
NoteWorthy must add that feature and many more which "others" have at once!
I actually use Lime as my workhorse notation programme. My only real complaints with it are regarding the quality of the fonts, and a certain lack of user-friendliness. (It originated on the Mac platform, and it shows in its lack of compliance with Windows conventions.)
I've been looking around for a replacement that suits my requirements (and pricepoint isn't one of them), but, although I like the look of Noteworthy's output, I can't seriously consider as more than a toy as it stands right now.
Lime..., based on apple..., which is based on Unix...
Does that mean that it functions under Linux? If so can you please direct me to where I can download it, under the provision that it does (decent, or better than NWC) MIDI playback?
Come to think of it, I wonder how come NWC doesn't ship yet in Linux format. I don't know if people have asked for it, but I am sure that it would make alot of users happier. I for once have windoze on my PC only to write music with NWC and use fully my soundcard. But I guess the pitfall here lies in the lack of Linux drivers for the majority of the soundcards out in the market; even those that do have linux drivers, they show (intentionally?) limited capabilities. Life is so much easier with Linux...
