Playing songs

It is possible to play a song while in Print Preview so to see the entire or part of the score?

Welcome Papi22,
at present, the answer is:
NO, in NWC you cannot look at a full page preview and play the music at the same time.

What you can do, is to click on the "Spectacles" icon for View mode, before starting play.
When Note chase is switched on, this gives you very nearly the same result
as you would get, looking at the sheet music whilst playing (say) a piano part.

Thanks, Haymo, but I wanted to see the score and play it as if in hand, in the style of Musicnotes and other sites on the Internet. Then the answer to my question is No. Perhaps that functionality may exist in a future version of NWC.

Viewer Mode may be toggled on and off during playback.

No, but you can load the same song into both Composer and Viewer. Control playback with one and use Print Preview with the other.

To use Composer for playback while viewing the score in another application, set Port Usage in the Midi Options Dialog Tab to: While Playing or Always
