beamed notes on more staffs 14 years ago I have a music score with some notes which are beamed together. Notes 1 and 4 are on the upper score (stemmed down), notes 2 and 3 are on the second score (stemmed up).Who do I enter this in NWC? Quote Selected
Re: beamed notes on more staffs Reply #1 – 14 years ago Rich and Rick offer better solutions than mine. Boy! I am glad I don't play piano and that I seldom have to run beams between staffs. You need to use extra (layered) staffs and duplicate the notes onto them. Then change the visual characteristics of various notes, note stem length and beams in the run. You may want to replace inner notes with hidden rests to make the beams work. Try this as the top staff!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.5,Single)|Clef|Type:Treble|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-12|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-11|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-10|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-8|Opts:Stem=Down,StemLength=5,Beam=First|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-5|Opts:Stem=Down,StemLength=6,Beam|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-4|Opts:Stem=Down,StemLength=6,Beam|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-3|Opts:Stem=Down,StemLength=6,Beam|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-2|Opts:Stem=Down,StemLength=6,Beam=End|Bar!NoteWorthyComposerClip-EndThis on the second staff!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.5,Single)|Clef|Type:Bass|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,StemLength=5,Beam=First|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:1|Opts:Stem=Up,StemLength=5,Beam|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:2|Opts:Stem=Up,StemLength=5,Beam|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Up,StemLength=5,Beam=End|Rest|Dur:Half|Bar!NoteWorthyComposerClip-Endand this on the new third staff, which will be layered under the second staff!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.5,Single)|Clef|Type:Bass|Visibility:Never|Rest|Dur:4th,Dotted|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:4|Opts:Stem=Up,StemLength=5,Beam=First|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:5|Opts:Stem=Up,StemLength=5,Beam=End|Rest|Dur:4th,Dotted|Visibility:Never|Bar!NoteWorthyComposerClip-EndThen tweak the note properties to fine tune it. You want the hidden notes in the top staff for playback, I think, but if they are not muted in the bass clef staff, you could use hidden rests instead.

Re: beamed notes on more staffs Reply #2 – 14 years ago David,I think I see a slightly different question than you seem to be seeing.I think guidovanh is looking for a sharedbeam between two staffs.The attached file is one way of doing it. There may be many others. Quote Selected
Re: beamed notes on more staffs Reply #3 – 14 years ago Try the attachment. The extra complication in measure 2 yields more accurate playback. For printing, you may need to adjust the stem lengths on the upper staff. Less adjustment is needed if you keep the beams flat or at a reduced slope.IMO, NWC 2.1 puts too much space after the first 8th note in measures 1 and 2. This can be corrected with the new Spacer object in NWC 2.5 Beta. The attached png was done in NWC 2.5 Quote Selected Last Edit: 2011-11-16 12:08 AM by Rick G.
