NoteWorthy Composer Forum

I started with NWC about the same time (1998). I can't take it any more. The upgrade did nothing for my complaints, that I can tell. It's simply too hard to load the extras. Why don't multibar rests exist yet? Why is it so difficult to get rehearsal numbers/letters in? If there's an easy way to do those, and lots of other things, I have never found it. NWC is great for a quick and dirty leadsheet, or a few bars of something, but a full score, in my experience, is way too difficult to maneuver around. I really, really, wanted it to continue working. I finally threw my hands up in disgust about a month ago. It just doesn't do what I want it to do, unless I want to download all the added fonts and other crap that people throw out there. I don't make it a habit of downloading that type of thing from just anyone, and the few times I did try it, the things just didn't work. Both the big boys will do what I want, and much more easily. I just want multibar rests, rehearsal marks, easy lyrics, and easy chord symbols. NWC add-ons haven't made those happen, Finale and Sibelius do it as a basic feature.

NWC now has Multi Measure Rests and collapsable staves. User fonts such as Boxmark2 and FretQwik allow rehearsal symbols and chords to be inserted. These fonts as well as hundreds of transcriptions of classical and originial music are on http://nwc-scriptorium.org/index.html
