Master repeat, more than twice 2006-08-19 12:31 pm I'm just a beginner in music notation, and I found that some of the printed music that I've uses what NWC calls "master repeats" for repeating the whole song more than twice (for example with 3 lyrics verses). But if I use "master repeats", the song is played just twice.Must I use "local repeats" for doing this in NWC, or can I use master repeats with a count >2 ? Quote Selected
Re: Master repeat, more than twice Reply #1 – 2006-08-19 01:01 pm The number of Master Repeats are dictated by special endings. If you add a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ending (they can all be in the same ending), then you will get three repeats. You can learn more from the repeat*.nwc samples that come with the program.See also:FAQ - How do I add repeated sections?http://ntworthy.com/composer/faq/102.htm Quote Selected

Re: Master repeat, more than twice Reply #3 – 2006-08-19 04:16 pm If you want a special ending to function on playback to give you multiple repeats, but don't want to see it on your printed page, just change its properties to Visibility=Never.!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)|Ending|Endings:1,2,3,4|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0|Rest|Dur:4th|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:-2|Bar|Style:MasterRepeatClose|Ending|Endings:5|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:-1!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End Quote Selected
Re: Master repeat, more than twice Reply #5 – 2006-08-20 10:25 pm Here's the way I used to do it before David posted his method a while ago. Mine works better it you need more than 8 or 9 repeats (Rock Lobster, anyone?), but David's is much more elegant and less fiddly.!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)|Bar|Style:MasterRepeatOpen|Bar|Style:MasterRepeatClose|Visibility:Never|Bar|Style:LocalRepeatOpen|Visibility:Never|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0|Rest|Dur:4th|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:-2|Bar|Style:LocalRepeatClose|Repeat:21|Visibility:Never|Bar|Style:MasterRepeatOpen|Visibility:Never|Bar|Style:MasterRepeatClose|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:-1!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End Quote Selected
Re: Master repeat, more than twice Reply #6 – 2006-08-21 02:16 am Nobody's ever called me elegant before. I think I'm going to [glow=red,2,300]blush[/glow]!Seriously, though, I'd like to take credit for my idea, but I think I stole it from someone else, possibly Eric, who had posted its genesis in one of these threads the same day or very recently.On another note, has anyone noticed some NWC clips display in a little window (as intended) and others just end up as plain text in forum messages? I wonder why? Quote Selected
