Re: Software Question Reply #1 – 2008-01-28 11:47 am G'day dannac,it should be possible to create a user tool to do it - but the entries would be text entries, not in the lyrics editor... We can't edit lyrics with user tools. Quote Selected

Re: Software Question Reply #3 – 2008-01-28 01:45 pm We will make an online NWC2 tool for this. Details will be posted when they are complete. Quote Selected
Re: Software Question Reply #5 – 2008-01-28 04:12 pm A little side note- perhaps it could also be possible to do the same with chord names? A tool that could, perhaps, analyze the harmonies in a score and then insert a text for the most common chord associated with them? There would be a substantial margin of error, but I would much rather edit one or two incorrect text entries than put all the chords in manually. Too far fetched? Quote Selected

Re: Software Question Reply #7 – 2008-01-28 10:29 pm G'day Dave,no, not too far fetched, but decidedly non-trivial too. I would like to see this myself, but I don't expect it in a hurry...G'day dannac,NWC2 has the ability to make use of "User Tools". These are pieces of software that can be written to accept a stream of data from the NWC2 editor - process the contents in some way, and return the stream to NWC2 as a replacement.There are MANY user tools that have already been created. May I refer you to some "light reading" http://nwc-scriptorium.org/nwc2scripts.html contains links to the "starter kit" which is an important starting point (pun intended).http://nwc-scriptorium.org/ftp/nwc2scripts/generaldiscussion.pdf andhttp://nwc-scriptorium.org/ftp/nwc2scripts/invocationinstructions.pdfare also useful references. At the very least, read the general discussion. It will open things up a bit for you. The invocation instructions are a bit more, umm, detailed and while useful, doesn't really explain what user tools actually are as much as it describes the ways in which they can be invoked.You are not restricted to the existing user tool set, as the interface is quite open, and if you have the programming skills then you can "roll your own" if you want. Even I've written a couple and I sure ain't no programmer...An "online" user tool I'm less sure of... Perhaps Eric has a web interface in mind that will allow use of a tool not on your machine...
