Title: Request for Repeated Note Shortcut
Post by: BobDarby on 2017-01-23 04:22 pm
I'm writing for strings and it is time-consuming and untidy having to notate repeats as in the top line of the attached as opposed to the standard shortcut notation as in the bottom. Any chance of something like this being available for some future release?

Hi Bob,

You appear not to be up to date with the latest user objects. This can be done easily (including playback)

You need to use the TremoloSingle user object by Mike Shawaluk.

Read all about it here :

Hope this helps.

Good to hear from you

Hi Rich

You are quite right - as you know, I am an old hand going way back to version 1 and I've really not kept up to date. Slapped wrist! I shall make amends as I have announced to my colleagues that I really do intend to retire and spend more time writing music again.

Good to hear from you and trust you are well.

KR
Bob

Works a treat - thanks. Editing my 1st string quartet for a live performance and this will save a great deal of time and look better. Of course, when I started with NWC, there were no such things as objects and with the various upgrades, I have done what my wife tells me I always do . . .  not read instructions. (At the risk of being sexist, a man thing, I think.)

Thank you very much for this collection.

I thought I was computer-literate, but tremolo.ms object is defeating me. I've tried emulating examples from Caprice6.nwc and Memnon.nwc. If I copy the items and mess with the settings to what I want, fine, but if I start from scratch, I can't get to where these examples end up. Something I'm clearly misunderstanding and would be grateful for any advice.

The easiest way to create Tremolo.ms note pairs starts by upgrading to the 2.75a beta, then updating your all of your plugins from Tools, Manage Objects.

Once you are using the latest 2.75a Tremolo.ms plugin, you can simply select a pair of notes and use Tools, Options, User Tool,.Plugins, Tremolo.ms: Apply to create the tremolo.

When building them manually (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=9084.0), the key is to create RestChord notes on either side of the tremolo:

How can I upgrade to 2.75a beta? I see a lot of info about it on the web site, but no download/upgrade instructions. Can someone help please?

If I remember well, Bob, being just a "NWC2 User", probably has no access to the back stage.

I think otherwise.
If you are a Virtuoso or NWC2 User, you hold a back stage pass to the early rehearsals for our beta software.

Ok.
So which was the level without that access? Maybe just "member"?

Fortunately, this mere user (with four piano sonatas, two string quartets and a piano concerto among other pieces written in NWC) did get to go to the back stage forum ball. Thanks for the help.
