Hello everyone
I am looking at a part score, and seeing that it would be really nice for the performers if I put page two after a couple of rest bars. The problem is that there is a line of music after the rests on page 1. Any tips to achieve a page break?
Yep, there is a mechanism in NWC especially for this:
- Immediately after the last bar line where you want to start the new page press <]>* to initiate a boundary change.
- On the "Boundary" tab you'll see at the bottom a radio button for forcing a new system, click it.
- Beside this there is a check box to start a new page (this is greyed out unless the radio button is clicked), check it.
- voila, new page is forced.
* you can also go through the menu system:
| Insert | Boundary Change...
Thanks for your help. You didn’t mention it but this only works on the top staff, for future reference.
I have been using the program for 20 years and am still learning new procedures!
A pleasure.
True, but that's the case for quite a few formatting goodies.
Nevertheless, I will use them in each part where I want to force a new page when extracting partiture. As you noted, they are ignored if there's a visible staff above them. Something to keep in mind when layering staves.
