Howdy all you cyber-music types!
I am fairly new to Noteworthy but a keyboard player and electronic designer. I am in the process of building a Calliope with a Midi interface and chose Noteworthy as my music editing program.
I have downloaded a nice collection of Midi music and am trying to massage them into a suitable form for the Calliope (such as a piano score). Unfortunately, the majority of nice Midi pieces seem to have ten zillion staves and I am having a duce of a time condensing them down to a single Treble and Bass stave. I'd hate to have to transcribe all the pieces from sheet music - I am inherently lazy ;-)
Is there any way, when importing or editing a piece of music to combine or merge two staves into one without copying every note?
Thanks folks!

I believe that there is a User Tool written to do just this, but I don't know what it's called.
Anyways, to use a user tool, you'd need to sign up for the NWC2 beta (http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/nwc2/).
Sorry that I don't know what the name of the user tool is. Most likely someone else will post it.
Two suggestions,
(removed - Rick's way is better)
I've had good luck with this process:
- mute all, then unmute the staves you want to merge
- add playing style: Tenuto to each of these staves
- make the MIDI channel the same for each staff to be merged
- Save as: Type 0 MIDI file
- Open the MIDI file created in the last step
