I am having a problem recreating this left and right hand piano part.
I am attaching a jpg of the problem I am running into on bar 15
(http://www.get-noticed.com/nwc/billhelp.jpg)
As you see, the right hand is in the bass clef and the left hand has ties and slurs and all sorts of things going on.
How can I recreate this?
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
Michael
Something like this:
ok.. your image looks right. how did you do it? I haven't started scripting if that is what the NWC file is.
G'day Michael,
Rick has some neat tricks that make the visual results he can achieve with NWC quite impressive.
To see what he's done here, turn off layering |View|Allow Layering|
The rests on the treble staves have been moved to a position that is off the page (Pos=2000) - this MUST be done via a script
The trick for the slur to make it finish halfway up the stem of the chord:
There is a headless, muted grace note tied to a headless chordmember. This makes the slur end at the head of the headless chord member and the muted grace note stops it from sounding.
The NWC file can be downloaded and opened in NoteWorthy Composer 2
The Treble staff uses 2 layered staves. The last 2 chords in your jpeg cannot be done properly on one staff.
The Bass staff also uses 2 layered staves. The first and third chords require this. The last note of the 1
st and 3
rd slurs have some tricks applied to them to tame the slurs (slurs need a lot of taming in NoteWorthy). A few notes have their stems shortened.
A bit of time searching the help file will explain most of this.
Some of the rests have their Vertical Offsets set to 2000, for appearance. Setting the Vertical Offset to 15 will work, it just clutters up the editor a bit.
I don't use a script. I just set Vertical Offset=2, copy the entire staff to the Clipboard, paste it into a text editor and replace all '=2' with '=2000', copy it, and paste it back. Seems too simple a task for a script.
Fair enough - forgot about that possibility, but I simply use a Global Mod expression - quick and easy:
Rest Opts.VertOffset=2000
For those rests that are already at 2 as you have suggested:
Rest,Opts.VertOffset==2 Opts.VertOffset=2000
<Edit> - corrected an error in the first "GlobalMod" expression above
I guess it's time to upgrade to 2.x. Maybe then I will understand what you guys are talking about :)
Thanks
Hmm, yup, "Do not pass GO, do not collect $200" until you do... ;)
Here's a(n) NWC 1.75 file. Since the NWC2 forum was merged into this forum some months ago, I assume that questions here are for NWC2 unless the poster declares otherwise.
Sorry for the confusion.
