WYSIWYG

Another programme I am evaluating right now offers a manual cast off feature. As far as I understand, there is no such thing in NWC. You can only select the print preview option, but closing it you return to the "single line mode". Or is there any other possibility?
Thanks

Volker,

Believe me you *don't* want a WYSIWYG score editor. They
work fine for (say) 3 or 4 parts and maybe 50 to 100 bars,
but much more than that and they get s l o w e r a n d
s l o w e r until each key or mouse click takes
results in several seconds pause to repaint.

If you're evaluating other programs make sure you load
them up with a large score to see how they perform.

John is right. A good test, try importing the midi file that I did, "Thick as a Brick" into your evaluation program, and see how it all copes. If you really want to try this, get the midi file from http://homepages.tig.com.au/~boddo/midis/taab.mid and have fun:-)

didn't get me anywhere (except for a ride on the 404...)
Is there an update or something?

Haven't seen much of Boddo lately. The good news is that his work is on The Scriptorium.
