Smallness

I'm not... quite sure how you'd fix this, but...

I'm preparing a vocal score of a cut song from Yeomen of the Guard of appropriate layout to allow it to be cut to size and added into the standard score. As such, I'm trying to imitate Chappell's use of fonts and so on, with the exception of making the lyric font a little bigger, at the request of others.

As the score at a few points changes the left hand to the treble clef, I'm following the chappell custom of using a smaller clef when indicating the changes, hiding the clef that actually changes them. However, this means that not only the clef at the point of change disappears... but all clefs at the start of lines from then on.

Now, I DO have to edit the score a bit anyway, so it's not that much of a problem, but should it be beer to have a null-clef to add if you wanted to remove the clefs at the start of systems?

To make a shorter example, if you set User 1 to NWC2SDTA, size 14, you could do the following:

Code: [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Text|Text:"a"|Font:User1|Pos:-1|Wide:Y
|Clef|Type:Treble|Visibility:Never
|Bar
|Text|Text:"b"|Font:User1|Pos:1|Wide:Y
|Clef|Type:Bass|Visibility:Never
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

(I can't get the bass clef perfectly lined up.)

Maybe I've mentioned before, it would be same topic.

Same situation for changing clef, such as Treble to Bass, or B to T.
Smaller clef can be displayed with text, hiding original clef. But from
that point, all clef on the top disappeared. If using Force System Break,
how can I adjust the length of each bar. Looks much tricky.

NoteWorthy's score editor is text-editor-like. So I think it's a bit
difficult to add graphic enhancement fot drawing score.

Force System Break will alter the length of all the bars it affects, but if you place it approximately where the system break would be anyway, the distortion won't be much.

Then when you add a real clef immediately after the break, at the beginning of the next line, it will be displayed on all the following lines of that staff.

The problem with using a text clef is the vertical position, but it looked do-able when I tried it just now.
