Version 2 rest and notes together

[Editor's Note: The article has been transferred from https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=4241]

I've found another glitch in the Version 2 pre-release that is worth warning about.

In treble clef, first add a minim (half note) rest.  Then <CTRL> enter a semibreve (whole note) on E4 (E above middle C).  Note that the minim rest has risen half a space, so that -at quick glance - it now looks like a semibreve rest?  It prints this way, too.

If you can live with this, good for you.  If not, layering provides a solution.  But it's a bit sledge-hammer for something that used to work quite well.  I hope it's just a typo in the programming, and Noteworthy picks it up before the full release (hint, hint).

Cheers,
Ewan

Your report will be given further thought.

The split stem chord function, carried to version 2 from version 1, behaves roughly the same as it did in version 1. We are not sure yet how much effort will be made in improving it, versus making layering easier to use.

Just for completeness, here is a notation clip that demonstrates what you describe:

Cool! way, way, cool!

Are you going to give us a complete declaration of this notation (so we can create it by hand?

Are you going to give us a way of cutting out of NWC and pasting to text?

How many people (and their pets) do we have to kill for this?

Select staff (or part thereof) in NWC2.
Control+C.
Control+V into Notepad or Forum Message or whatever.
Couldn't be simpler!

As to the full spec, just put an example of what you want into NWC2, then cut and paste it as above.
