Cannot add anything - neither clef no notes to staff, even when open sample cannot see any note. Please, help, I never have used NWC before, maybe I'm doing something wrong...
Hi Anna,
my best guess at this stage is you may have a video driver problem - it would be worth searching for a driver update for your video card and trying it.
Please let us know what happens.

This sounds as if the font, NWCV15.TTF, is corrupt.
De-installall NWC and re-install it. You have a proper CD-version, I presume - not presuming anything, really?
ah well, I should have used Preview.
So what else is new...
Its a brave sole wholl bare the eire off the Grammer puhlease without yew sing Preview! Ewed butter go and sit in the corner of the internet!
Dear Lawrie!
You've mentioned EXATCLY the reason, thank you so much. I've installed a driver for video card, and looks like now everything became OK!
;)
Welcome to NWC, Anna. Enjoy the program, and when you become used to it, consider upgrading to the preview of version 2.
Hi Anna,
that's great news.
I wish I could take the credit for thinking of the answer but it just happens that that kind of issue has appeared with enough regularity to make the diagnosis easy.
You've got a good product to play with there, enjoy!
Lawrie
what shell I do if I want to make an accord?
The English term for "accord" is "chord."
(1) Enter a note.
(2) Move the cursor up or down.
(3) CTRL + ENTER adds another note, same position as previous note. This forms a 2-note chord.
(4) To add another note, again move cursor, CTRL + ENTER.
The Help section does help!
Look up 'chord', and see what else there is to find out about chords. You will find it useful. I myself learned by trial and error and curses-under-my-breath, while the answers were right there.
In French, and perhaps some other languages, the musical term is "accord." A French speaker, translating "accord" to English, would get a definition that suggests "harmony" This creates the impression that "accord" is also the English musical term. But it is not.
This language error is very common.
My suggestion: NWC should modify the help file: "Accord - see chord."
