Here is one. https://github.com/nwsw/nwcplugin-api is the official repository for the API documentation, and includes a few examples.There are a dozen or so objects that are bundled with NWC 2.75, so there are lots of examples to look at. The ones with .ms in the filename were written by me, and I would be happy to answer any questions about them, or the steps needed to create new ones.Thanks,Mike Quote Selected Last Edit: 2015-10-25 11:26 pm by Mike Shawaluk
Re: Object plugins Reply #3 – 2015-10-27 10:53 am Some other resources include....-A short overview and example of using an Object in the User Guide on page 37.https://noteworthycomposer.com/composer/files/nwc275guide.pdf-The Tutorial has been updated to include an Object, starting on page 17.https://noteworthycomposer.com/composer/files/nwc275tutorial.pdf-The FAQ - Examples of Insert: Object... lists the new sample song files included in Version 2.75 and what Object is demonstrated. https://noteworthycomposer.com/composer/faq/116.htm-For *.nwc song files using an Object, you can use Edit: Find, Find What: |User|* to see an Object entry on a staff. Once an Object is highlighted, use Alt+Enter to see the Object name and parameters. Quote Selected
Re: Object plugins Reply #4 – 2015-10-27 03:39 pm An additional thought on finding user objects: by default, the object anchor is so small that it is practically invisible, and it may be difficult to spot while reading a score. I'm not going to argue with the default (some may prefer it that way), but for those of us who want it larger, its size can be adjusted on the Editor tab of the Options dialogue. Make sure you check the "My Expression Anchor Size check box; it also controls the "Object Anchor Size" spinner directly below it. Quote Selected

Re: Object plugins Reply #6 – 2015-11-09 03:15 pm A very nice FAQ. It might also be helpful to include the process for updating an object that has already been installed, to the latest version (following a post in the forum that an object has been updated). The steps would be similar to those for installing the object for the first time.I have two other minor corrections to other FAQ pages:https://noteworthycomposer.com/composer/faq/117.htm - The comment for BarLabel.ms is not 100% correct: it does not print labels at every bar, only at the locations where the object is added. BarCounter.nw, on the other hand, will print the bar number at the start of each system.https://noteworthycomposer.com/composer/faq/116.htm - for the description of Caprice6.nwc, you have misspelled Ottavamatic.msThanks again,Mike Quote Selected
