my wish to wish list

Hi,
kinda active recently to this forum. Just wondering if this wish is constructive?
anyone think it would be good if whenever we place a note, we can hear the pitch of that note?

Yeah, probably. Could be setup as another part of in the echo part of the Record tab in Options.
Don't think that'd be too hard to implement. Simply put out the note for the length specified by the note length.
It would help those of us who compose from the keyboard rather than from the ... er ... keyboard. ;-)

I wouldn't want to hear the note echoed for the length of
the actual note. A short, pitched beep would be enough.
It could be a pain, entering a series of whole notes and
having to wait for each one to finish echoing.

I think this would be a useful optional feature. For serious
notation entry it would drive you crazy, but for a beginner
trying to compose simple music it would be very helpful.

Useful, but definately OPTIONAL.

Although not exactly what you want, here is a reminder:

Don't forget about the Play "from insertion point" option (Tools, Options, Midi), which lets you press F5 at any time to hear play from your current editing position in the song.

Wha? Eric! Don't think I've ever seen it before! When did you slip that one in? This'll be useful for transcriptions of Satie's Gnossienne! (Written without bars, I believe!)

Be careful with music without bars. NWC requires that bars be inserted in order to format the music when printing. It also needs them for navigation in the editor.

FYI: We added the relative play feature years ago, in version 1.1. It is mentioned at:

as "Configurable starting point for play to begin".
