layout of notes

15 years ago

On staff 1 I have 2 quarter notes which I stemmed up. On staff 2 I have 1 half note which I stemmed down.
When I select to staff 1 layer with staff 2 I can't see the correct duration. Other music paper will print the quarter note next to the half note.
Can I do the same in NWC?
(I am sorry that my English is not very good).

G'day Guido,
Welcome to the forum.

I assume that the first quarter on staff 1 and the half on staff 2 are the same pitch. So, if you select the half note on staff 2, press <Alt+Enter> to get the properties dialogue and adjust the "Extra Note Spacing" - this will move the note to the right - select a value that get's the result you want.

Thanks! That works well!
In my music book some notes are shown as:

The upper note and the lower note are stemmed down. The note in the middle is neither an upper note nor a lower note. How do I set up this in NWC?

Something like this perhaps:

Code: [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|TimeSig|Signature:Common
|Text|Text:"\|"|Font:PageSmallText|Pos:3|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:0
|Text|Text:"\|"|Font:PageSmallText|Pos:3|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:0
|Text|Text:"\|"|Font:PageSmallText|Pos:3|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:0
|Text|Text:"\|"|Font:PageSmallText|Pos:3|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:0
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

It's a shifted backslash (logical OR) inserted as text on top of the note.

I'm not certain I understand what you mean, but it sounds like another job for layering. Perhaps you could be a little more specific?
