Help!! Itried to enten different instruments to an arrangement for brass that I am working and found the list of instruments has disappeared. How can I recover it. It has been quiet awhile since I was in NWC. Has something changed?
Thanks Rikbel@juno.com
If
nwc2.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\NoteWorthy Composer 2
Tools->
Options...->
Folders->Instrument Trees:
should contain:
C:\Program Files\NoteWorthy Composer 2\itrees
and the beginning of: C:\Program Files\NoteWorthy Composer 2\itrees\Default.nwcitree
should look something like this:
If you have installed
nwc2.exe somewhere else, substitute that path for:
C:\Program Files\NoteWorthy Composer 2
in the above instructions.
An inconvenience with NWC2 is the necessity of having an instrument tree in a prescribed form before one can use a particular sound font.
Whilst some sound fonts have data which can easily be used to write an itree, often one has to look at the soundfont in the sound font bank manager and copy the description of each instrument to a temporary document before one can write the itree. With my Creative sound font manager, one of the commonest in use, "Copy and Paste" cannot be used to copy the complete listing in a sound bank.
This is a nuisance to me at the moment because after a PC failure i have lost my sound fonts and have to reload them. Whilst I have back-ups of the itrees for one or two, it is a long task to recreate the rest.
