What is a fake book and how would you do it in NWC?
Doe anybody know?
Here:

You can also find fake books described, and for sale, from various reputable sources. You local public library probably has a couple of fake books in the music section. That's actually what they are called.
NWC would be a fine program for setting up your own fake book. Keep in mind, however, that the original music is probably copyrighted, so you can't go distributing somebody else's music even if you rewrite it. If you need to show guitar chord diagrams, there's a way to add that into NWC (it isn't part of the program itself).
Keep in mind that most of the stuff you can legally do has probably already been done, in bits and pieces here and there, by others.
What a great link!
Thanks!
speaking of wikipedia i started an articles on noteworthy but it's rather empty, so could someone expand it please?
"If you need to show guitar chord diagrams, there's a way to add that into NWC (it isn't part of the program itself)."
I use Seville, a True Type Font or .ttf. I found it off the internet. It uses guitar chords.
Although the Seville font would work (in most cases), it's my understanding that it's part of the package for some other music program, and really shouldn't be used elsewhere. But you can use "FretQwik" even though it doesn't work the same way.
... and I added a little to C.G.'s article.
Thank you
