Can anyone please help - new to this but I require to enter chords in the left hand under any note in the right hand. So I could have four notes in a bar and require to insert a chord under the third note. No rests.
Add the rests anyway, but make them invisible in your printed output. Visibility is a property of just about any NWC item.
HTH,
Wilm
Thanks for your tip
Thanks Wilm, however, this is OK for printing but rests or notes are still played when selecting Play. I require no notes or rests to show and be played at these points in the LH.
lemme try to understand the problem correctly
RH stave, 4/4, one bar, four quarter notes
LH stave, 4/4, one bar, one single quarter note (or a chord) under the third note in the RH stave
when this last note (or chord) is also a quarter duration, what do you care about whether rests are "played"?
I'm sure I responded too quickly, because the question still escapes me... maybe you could post a small NWC example ...eummm... that would lead you exactly to your original question...
Hi Wilm
Thanks for your reply - its good for me that someone replys so quickly - I can see your problem here in what I wish to do. At the moment I have to produce the same notes in RH bars with different notes for the LH. So I have 4 bars (say) same notes each (RH). With 4 bares LH I want to surpress some not to play in the LH. The principle of not printing is good when I find the correct combination. But it would be nice to surpress notes from not playing. I have overcome in some case (your method) by changing the notes in somes case to rests and not showing them on printing - however, they still get played when notes. I thought there could be a method of inserting spaces.

I'm still a bit confused - maybe you could mail a small sample NWC to w.boerhout@planet.nl - I'll take a look and maybe I can suggest another approach
Hi John,
You can always mute the notes you don't want to sound - just select your chosen notes, then right-click and go to Properties then from the tab <Notes>, check the box next to "Mute". You can select a single note or a bunch of consecutive ones.
Hi Ann
Thanks for the tip - has been a great help
