Why do you always use multiple question marks? And what is wrong with your shift key?

It seems that you are exploring strange corners of Noteworthy. Strange and not always useful. One obvious reason why something isn't possible is: because there is no earthly reason to implement it, and there are more pressing matters.
So don't hold your breath until your exotic wishes will be granted.

Not taking one side or the other, but just an observation: user 111 may be doing NoteWorthy Software a service during the beta testing phase.  Doing 'strange' things with software is the very thing that evokes deep little bugs... And you can absoutely count on the using public to do 'strange' things with any software.  We will all likely benefit.

You are right.
The reason I stated it like I did that user111 usually states questions in the form of a complaint. And with such a string of complaints, rightly or no, its hackle raising time.

Also, we have been bombarded with 'feature requests', which seems to mean that user111 really wants to use such features. And I cannot figure out why. It seems more like whining than signalling, or asking.

Btw, what is a blonde's favourite wine? - I wanna go shooooopping!

I understand completely.  Do have a good Holiday (Everyone), and I am off to the north... Brrrrr.

Of course, there's always the simple fact that with a little experimentation, using the features of the existing NWC2 programme, you can beam across clefs well enough to satisfy most piano players.  It just takes a little work.

Regarding that beaming issue. You can do that by using two visual staffs, both muted, and one hidden, that plays the music correctly.

First staff might be looking something like:

Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-3|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-3|Visibility:Never
|Clef|Type:Bass
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-3|Visibility:Never
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
And the second staff something like:

Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-3|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Then layer the two.

The third, hidden, staff is just a repetition of the first staff.

Possibly a pain the the you-know-what to maintain, but it seems to be working.

Are there any fixes for beaming between staves?

Thanks David. I am pleased I don't have to do just yet!
