Is there a way in NWC2 to create 'graduated' beaming for a group of notes to represent an accelerando or decelerando? I am sorry if there is a more specific term for this that I don't know! The effect is to start with a quaver for example and for the beaming to open up in a wedge to end up as demisemiquavers. The effect is seen in Vier Solostudien for oboe by Iwan Iwanow.
I don't think so - but can you post a picture of the music ? Do you have a scanner?
There may be work rounds that can be employed - but I have to confess that I'm not that sure what you mean.
Lilypond calls them Feathered-beams (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Beams#Feathered-beams)

That's what I meant!
Well I don't think so - but if anyone can do a work around, its Rick (who posted the picture).
I am constantly surprised at the NoteWorthy magic that Rick weaves. But it can't be done as a default function in NoteWorthy.
Easy enough to do with layers, actually. I've attached an example. Uncheck view/allow layering to see how it's done. The slanted beams are made by changing the stem length of the last note in the group - that function is found on the notes tab of the notation properties dialog box (select the last note and press alt/enter).

Nice. Now if you could only beam a RestChord (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=6347.msg42936#msg42936), this would integrate with the rest of the score.
Bill, I like it - well done.
I considered all sorts of things - but not that.
But I don't think it's something I'll ever use.
Thanks for the help - that will do nicely. The Iwanow study also contains lots of single and double harmonics but without the base note which I need to remind me which note to finger. I need to copy it out adding the base notes so that I have half a chance of playing it!
