feature request: invisible noteheads

I don't what it's called, but just look at the image. Even in NWC2 it's impossible, because NWC2 doesn't allow invisible noteheads.

You can do this.  Try this on the first staff

Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:2z|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
and this on another

|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:2o|Color:0|Visibility:Default

and layer them.

Indeed, NWC2 has invisible noteheads, and you can do that.

You can also do it in NWC1 with layering.

Also see reply 4 there, written by someone else. But "uhh" has a point: in NWC1, it requires a trick, which won't always work. In NWC2, the feature is a regular part of the program.

Hi!

My problem is somewhat similar: I'd like to print 4 beamed 1/8 notes, but replacing the first one with a 1/8 pause. (the result should look like a rest and 3 beamed eights, with the beam line going also over the rest...)

So: will it ever be possible to hide note stems too?

This should also become popular when inserting completely hidden rests as "muted noted with blank heads and blank stems" instead of horrible grayish rests...

NWC2 already allows hidden stems. Actually, they are not hidden, but their lengths can be set so short that they cannot be seen. But beams and flags don't automatically disappear when the stem is shrunk.

You can imitate this with layering, but it would be nice to have it as a property of something - maybe the beamed group?

Great!

I hadn't thought of that...
