other notation for thirty-second duration notes

2007-05-27 07:56 am

To avoid this notation <Image Link> some music editors use this <Image Link>. It is more easy to read. But with NWC2 it is only possible to write <Image Link> (hide notes : <Image Link>).
If the authors of the software could add a command of "special white notehead" at the toolsbar <Image Link> (<Image Link>), it will solve this problem. (excuse me for my english but I am French.)

G'day jpg,
cool idea. You could use no note head and then place a text head from the system font (NWC2STDA).

Configure a user font to use the system font at about 125% of the staff size (this seems to be necessary to get the size right) and then place a "j" which corresponds to the the minim (half) note head.

It should be placed centred at next note/bar. Vertical positioning isn't perfect but you can get it "near enough for jazz"

Building on Lawrie's idea:

Top staff:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Bass
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-8z|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:32nd|Pos:-1z|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End,XNoteSpace=2
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-8
|Rest|Dur:8th
|Rest|Dur:4th
|Bar
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

Staff 2 (to be layered):
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Bass
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:-8|Opts:StemLength=0
|Rest|Dur:4th|Visibility:Never
|Rest|Dur:4th|Visibility:Never
|Bar
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

Staff 3 (to be layered:)
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Bass
|Rest|Dur:4th,Dotted|Visibility:Never
|Rest|Dur:32nd|Visibility:Never
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:-1|Opts:StemLength=0,XNoteSpace=3
|Rest|Dur:16th,Dotted|Visibility:Never
|Bar
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

It doesn't look right in the editor, but seems ok in print preview (on my screen).
