Hi,
I seem to have encountered problems opening UTF-8 files in NWC2.75 Preview 41.
Problem 1:
The clip below contains the lyric line with UTF-8 letters:
|Lyric1|Text:"testḁ testẙ testẚ testẻ testẽ testỉ testủ testỳ\n"
I am able to paste the entire clip as a new file into Preview 41, and save it as NWC and NWCTxt file.
However, when I try to open the NWC file from Windows Explorer, it gives the error "This is a version '2.75' file, which is from a newer version of this application." Similarly, when I try to open the NWCTxt File, it says "Loading" in the status bar, but the NWCTxt file doesn't get loaded.
Solution:
After some investigation, I managed to solve the problem as follows:
1) Inside Windows Explorer, right-click on the NWC or NWCTxt file, and select "Open With" -> "Choose Default Program..."
2) Then select "Browse...", then browse to the NWC folder, and select "nwc2test.exe" and Ok
3) Then under Other Programs, select "NoteWorthy Composer 2 Main Program"
Problem Solved! The NWC and NWCTxt files opened without any problems.
Problem 2:
I then edited and saved the NWCtxt file in Notepad, by inserting hyphens in the lyric line as follows:
|Lyric1|Text:"test-ḁ test-ẙ test-ẚ test-ẻ test-ẽ test-ỉ test-ủ test-ỳ\n"
However, when I try to open the NWCTxt file again, it had the same problem as before, saying "Loading" in the status bar, but the NWCTxt file doesn't get loaded.
Solution:
After some investigation, I managed to solve the problem as follows:
1) I opened the NWCTxt file using a binary file editor such as hexedit, (available from www.hexedit.com)
2) I deleted using hexedit the beginning of UTF-8 file marker characters "EE BB BF" that Notepad had inserted
3) I saved the binary-edited NWCTxt file
Problem Solved! The NWCTxt file opened without any problems.
Regards,
Ian
