How often do updates for NWC usually come out?

The time periods between updates are not regular, or predictable.
I think they are overdue for a new version, but maybe I'm just impatient...

Just curious, when was the last update?

The would be version 1.75b which came out sometime late last year.

My suspicion, based on something I noticed in this forum about 7 days ago, is that the next release is fairly immanent and will be version 2.0.

The next version probably won't be 2.0.
It'll be 1.8, or 1.81, or something like that.
Or maybe even 1.79.
This guy from the future (Marcel, was it?) said that 2.0 came out in 2007.
We'll see...

You can read about it on
Programming the MPU-401 in UART mode

Abkürzung für "MIDI Processing Unit 401" - Eine von "Roland" entwickelte MIDI-Schnittstelle.
That is:
Abbreviation for 'Midi Processing Unit 401' - a MIDI interface developed by Roland.

I don't know where, but I'm sure I've read that NWC is not going to be updated any more.
I wish I was wrong, but anyway, the last version is a very good piece of software isnt't it?

I hope that Reply 8 isn’t an attempt, or the result of an attempt, to spread a rumour.
Like “I heard someone say; I can’t remember who……”
We really have no indication that development has come to an end. If nothing else, the regular participation of Noteworthy Software on this forum suggests the opposite.

Yes the latest version is, “a very good piece of software”, as have been quite a few versions before it. It is also very inexpensive.

Historically, there was also a version of NWC suited for 16-bit (Windows 3.1) machines. I'm sure that version reached its development limit! That may be what you heard.

What might have confused you was a discussion on this forum about another piece of software that seems not to be under active development any more.
Personally, I take the lack of recent updates to mean that the next one will be a big one. Here's hoping!

Let's hope the next version addresses notation fundamentals like:
An extended set of articulation marks.
Multi-measure rests.
Rehearsal marks.
Mapped drum notation.

Robin, you're right. I've been doing a few browsing, and I've found there was a program called "Noteworthy 2", now withdrawn and replaced by "Music Publisher".
It seems to be by far worse than "our" NWC.

But anyway... I'm looking forward for a new release of NWC (with tuplets, please)

and maybe a player for Palm OS, or a Noteworthy plug-in for RealPlayer.

Leave RealPlayer out of it.
RealPlayer is a big pain in the yoktabay!

As I suspected (Reply 5), the next version is fairly immanent.
Jake (Reply 6) got it wrong.

I'm still running the 16-bit version on Windows 3.1. As I recall, the last upgrade included a 16-bit version. Why not?
