Flow direction Errors

2018-11-16 05:17 pm

I wonder if one of you might help me with this file. Having no formal training I'm still trying to learn on the fly here. Specifically, flow directions and special endings are problematic for me. I'm attaching this file of the song BROWN EYED GIRL in hopes you can spot my errors and steer me toward redemption. I want the flow to be as follows:

Verse 1
Verse 2
Chorus
Verse 3
Chorus 2X
Out

If you care about appearance, be careful with decorated bar lines.
They often need to be "faked" with text or put on non-playing layered staves.

Thank you so very much. What do I do with this code? Is this a copy/paste operation? I haven't seen a place to enter code on the app.

It just LOOKS like code. It's actually an NWCtxt file - that's the way NWC normally stores your music. Just select it all and hit the download button. It should save as [file].nwctxt; if it doesn't, add the .nwctxt extension. You can then load it directly into NWC.

Just select it all and hit the download button.

Or select all, press CTRL+C, switch to NWC and press CTRL+SHFT+V
