multi part score

2010-07-08 02:20 am

ok, don't want to exhaust my newbie quota for the day, but here's a general question.

perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.

I want to enter a Quartet score in Noteworthy that has multiple parts (its a four part piece).

Is there a way to do that as a whole project ? or do I create each part as a separate file ? also per instrument ?

I know I can create a conductor's score with all the instruments together, but can that be separated out into individual sections easily ?

thanks!!

G'day again metafizx,
I do this all the time...

Couple of topics on this forum that cover the question:

my:

which links to:
http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful.html#Explanations

and Warren Porter's:
https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=2316.0

There are probably other explanations too, and given human creativity, there is nothing definitive about either document. You may find a combination of things suits you better. Over time as you become more familiar with NWC2 you will doubtless work out your own preferred methods.

I can't link to the pdf file. When I click on it, it brings me back to this thread, then stops (Message at bottom says "stopped.")

Hi Susanna

Just checked the file and it downloads OK for me.

Sending you a PM (Personal Message) and if you let me know your email address, I will send it to you.

Thanks! I'm not a composer, but my main use for noteworthy is to pick up some old songs I knew as a kid and perhaps compile a book for my great-grandchildren, and other little ones in the family. Meanwhile, I'm having a little fun playing with it. A question - do most people use an instrument interfaced with the computer for composition? I'm just doing stuff directly on the computer.

A little of both is seen here. Some people do use a midi keyboard attached to the computer, some like me just transcribe it by hand into the program. Either way works well. You do not need to be a composer to enjoy working with Noteworthy Composer. Though I have tried my hand at some limited composing, my main use for it was to do lead sheets that I could easily transpose for the different instruments I play. Good luck with your project and welcome to the forums. You will find they full of very helpful and knowledgeable people.
