... NWC2 user interface is much like NWC1. But NWC2 has many new features. No screenshot necessary.

"Reality Is" beat me to the punch, but, just for fun, here's a screen shot of NoteWorthy 2 :-).

Dear Me,

That was the point. NWC2 doesn't look very different to 1.75 (apart from shapes of slurs and some new noteheads). It's what is under the hood that counts.
For instance (edited from Noteworthy Software's help in NWC2):
• Hear notes as you add them to the staff
• Hairpin/graphic crescendo/diminuendo note properties
• X noteheads for percussion notes
• Diamond noteheads for other non-pitched and harmonic notes
• A blank notehead for unusual circumstances
• Percussion Clef
• A new Instrument Tree mechanism
• New Bi-directional Clipboard Text
• New user tool mechanism for scripting clip text processing
• Lyricist field (in addition to the existing Author/Composer field)
• User control over note stems
• Slurs are now drawn to the contour of the enclosing notes
• Default beam placement and slant have been completely redesigned
• Grace note scaling is now more consistent with standard conventions
• Accidentals and other note symbols are now scaled on grace notes
• Grace notes are slurred independently from primary notes
• New "Use stem for articulations" option for selected notes
• Inverted fermata is now automatic when placed below the center of the staff
• Hidden items show in active and inactive colors for quicker identification
• New note alignment algorithm (the notation alignment scheme has been totally redesigned)
• Mouse pointer in editor uses system cursor when run on a Windows XP system

The User Tool thing is where it gets really interesting. I've now written tools to rewrite triplets that look weird after importing a midi, a tool to adjust rest placement, one to transpose chords written as text (eg guitar chords, including bass notes eg Am7/C), and one that extracts parts from polyphony. I'm currently working on a tool that automatically beams notes in funky time signatures like 13/8 (which I tend to notate a fair bit).

HTH,
A

In 13/8, is there a backbeat on 7 and 11?

(I write this with my tongue in my cheek.  I haven't got a clue, but it reminded me of a joke I heard a while ago.)
