I'm having trouble transcribing the song Fever (Peggy Lee) into NoteWorthy. Particularily there is a note that is only sung in the second verse but I'm not sure how to enter it into the staff. On my sheet music it appears as a smaller size note. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it.

You can write it as part of a chord that includes a rest. Or you can use a layered staff. It will play back both times either way.

The help feature (F1 in Noteworthy) explains how to do both.

You can't really change the size of the note but you could use text to put parentheses around it. Just make text like this, "( )" then place it before the note, using placement at next note/bar.

Maybe you mean a grace note (type "=").

No. I thought about suggesting the use of grace notes, but they're hard to place accurately. You can do it instead in a layered staff, but since you normally will have several cue notes instead of one, you probably would not find the result satisfactory.

I meant to explain that "( )" placed before a note and correctly aligned will give you (0) where 0 represents a note.

I use NWCV15 as a special user font (size=18) in page setup. I then can place at least eighth, quarter, dotted quarter, half and dotted half notes in a score as "smaller" text. If you have access to the newsgroup, I can post my template that contains the setup in response to your question.

(Wonder if Noteworthy might be able to expand the native capability of the program to add additional smaller notes as text?)

I vaguely remember that there are also some musical font programs out there that offer a larger range of notes to be added as text.

You can use my free "MusiTone" as a text user font. It has various pre-built notes. Alignment with NWC is easy, since the font was designed that way.

Sorry, I meant "MusiSync" NOT Musitone!
