Organ Music

   Using Noteworthy for the production of organ scores has its own little quirks, but there is also a problem with playing organ music using Noteworthy.
   One can select, say, "Organ > Church Organ", from the General Midi but this sound font has its limitations.
   Whilst there are a number of good Organ sound fonts, such as Jeux and Stefan’s Cathedral Organ and these have good ranges of stops ,there are of necessity limited numbers of combinations of stops, such as “Salicional 8, Gamba 8”
   How to accommodate other combinations with Noteworthy requires some work-arounds. One is to create a number of identical staffs and to use several of these for each individual available stop or combination that you wish to use- rather like scoring for an orchestra. But there may be an easier way!
   I imagine that it is possible to create additional sound font channels using the existing individual stop data but this is beyond my capabilities!
