When Noteworthy (v 2.1) formats music for printing it breaks staffs only at bar lines. I would like to get it to break staffs in the middle of a measure. Is there a way to get v. 2.1 to do this? in the A thread from 2007 it was suggested that one could insert a bar line where you wanted a break and then change its properties so that it doesn't show. Is there a way to set Noteworthy to do it automatically? Or is the only option to still do it manually with "invisible" bar lines? Thanks for any responses or help. PastorMark 13.
It's fairly simple to create one like that. First create a bar line with the tab key, next highlight it and press
Cntl/E. When the
Notation Properties windows appear, check
Force System Break and
Exclude from Bar Count. On the
Visibility tab, change "Show on printed page" to
Never.
To see how it works, create one in the middle of the 5
th measure of
Moonlite in your samples folder on both staves.
|Bar|Style:Single|XBarCnt:Y|SysBreak:Y|Color:0|Visibility:Never
Welcome to the NWC Forums!
That was easy. Works great. Thank you, Warren!
By you moniker, I suspect that you may be doing hymns. I've tried to convince NoteWorthy that systems break mid-measure and therefore SysBreak should be its own little object rather than a property of a barline.
In hymns, lyrics cross barlines, but not in NoteWorthy land ... :(
