For my printed score, I would like to have, say, 4 measures on each system. I know I can do this with the bar-property 'Force system break' on the top staff, but I'd like an easier way to accomplish that. I could'nt find it in the Page Setup. Has anyone some ideas ? Perhaps with the user tool Global Modification (But how to specify Bar # mod 4 = 0) ? Are should I make an entry in the wish list ? | |||||||||

I meant: (Measure#mod 4 = 1) and (Measure# > 1) | |||||||||

Hi Opagust, unfortunately I can't think of a way for GlobalMod to do the job. It doesn't keep track of where it is up to and NWC doesn't store the bar number. However... If you:
you will see 4 bars per system. Not quite as neat perhaps but I think this has potential for other things. Note that I think you shouldn't need to worry about repeats etc. Top (invisible) staff
Lower (visible) staff
Please don't criticise me for the lack of creativity in the musical content - but I think I'll call it "seasick" or maybe "waves" :) (Oh please, Lawrie - don't give the day job!) Lawrie | |||||||||

Thank you very much, Lawrie, for your quick and useful reply. You keep surprising me (and many others, I believe). | |||||||||

I discovered the following, using your method: if you use staff labels, you have to give the top staff (with the system brekas) the same label as the first 'real' staff, otherwise it will disapear after layering! | |||||||||

BTW Lawrie, How do you put these boxes with text clips of staff notation ? I figured out where to get the clips (the STDIN from the user tool 'Variable Dump for Developers), but how do you create the box to put this in ? | |||||||||

The automatic What's This link describes the clip text block. They are inserted simply by copying and pasting two or more notes from NWC into your post. | |||||||||

G'day Opagust, oh well, I guess nothings ever perfect :) Noteworthy Online has pointed you to where to find details on using the scroll box for clip text. However, you don't have to do anything special with variable dump to get the text in the first place, just highlight the part of the staff you want, copy it <Ctrl-C> and then paste it directly into your post <Ctrl-V>. The web server does the rest Lawrie. | |||||||||

O, no, I put some text in the middle of the clip text. No wonder I couldn't see it the first time in the preview. Next attempt :
