Noteworthy Player for my Macintosh friends

I sing in an amateur choir and send arrangements by email to my fellow singers. Some of them use Macintosh and have been unable to use Noteworthy Player. What can I do?

Unless you can convince your friends to shell out $$$ for Windows and a PC emulator, you will have to settle with a midi file. With lyrics now, it isn't too bad, but they won't be about to see the notes unless they have a notation program that can open MIDIs

1) (as mentioned) send a MIDI file. They can play it, or import it into another music editor.
2) Print to a file using a Windows Postscript printer, and send them the Postscript file. They can print or view it. (This is not easy the first couple of times you do it, but after a few times, it's no harder than printing to tree-pulp.)
3) Print preview, cut and paste into a Word-Perfect, or even M$-Wurrd file, and send it (if they have either program.) Warning: Files are highly unportable between different versions of Wurrd, so this is seldom the best approach.
