shortcut for "visiblity: never" ? 2016-07-29 01:37 pm Hello again,there is just another question I have to the experts in this forum: Is there perhaps a shortcut to change the visibility of a note or a group of notes to "never"? As a teacher, I am regularly creating work sheets for my students in which they have to fill in some of the notes, and it is really annoying to click each time with the right button, THEN select properties, THEN select visiblity, THEN select "never" and THEN click ok. You see what I mean? :-)Greetings from Germany Quote Selected

You see what I mean? :-)Greetings from GermanyIt's not a perfect shortcut, but you can use the Global Modification user tool to do this. The first time you run the tool (with one or more notes selected), give it this command:Note Visibility=NeverThen to do it subsequently, choose "Repeat Last User Tool" from the drop down.

Re: shortcut for "visiblity: never" ? Reply #4 – 2016-07-30 07:33 pm Hallo (from Germany :-)) -First of all, you can do almost everything in Noteworthy with the (computer) keyboard - this is much faster than using the mouse (and one of the main reasons I use it instead of crutches like Capella ...).I would suggest the following:* Select the whole stretch where you want the notes to vanish;* alt-enter -> ctrl-tab to the "Notes" tab -> alt-v (override stem length) -> tab -> 0 [zero] ... now, all the notes do not have stems* Q B ... now all the notes have invisible note heads.The advantange of this is that the formatting of measures remains as before, whereas with visibiliy=never, empty bars on all staffs would create a much shorter measure, which you would have to stretch again with a spacer.RegardsHarald Quote Selected

Re: shortcut for "visiblity: never" ? Reply #6 – 2016-07-31 01:16 pm ... mhm. Neither the dots of dotted notes nor the accidentals vanish with my idea - probably not what you want, then!But for making things invisible manually, I think that* marking them (shift-<right arrow>; or shift-ctrl-<right arrow> for complete measures), * then alt-<enter>* ctrl-<tab> to visibility (only the first time)* and then n (for "Never") or d (for "Default", if you want to make something visible again) * and finally <enter>is quite fast - at least in my experience.RegardsHarald Quote Selected

Thanks in advance! The usertool forum has good information but you need to work your way through, this is time consuming.https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?board=7.0Check out the following:Installer-https://noteworthycomposer.com/nwc2/usertools/Explanations etc.-Some of these are a little dated now, but the content is still relevant:http://nwc-scriptorium.org/nwc2scripts.htmlhttp://nwc-scriptorium.org/nwc2scripts/generaldiscussion.pdfThis is good to read if you want to customise your installation further than the basic installation (yes, I wrote it...):http://nwc-scriptorium.org/nwc2scripts/invocationinstructions.pdf Quote Selected
