Cannot add anything - neither clef no notes to staff, even when open sample cannot see any note. Please, help, I never have used NWC before, maybe I'm doing something wrong...

Hi Anna,
my best guess at this stage is you may have a video driver problem - it would be worth searching for a driver update for your video card and trying it.
Please let us know what happens.

This sounds as if the font, NWCV15.TTF, is corrupt.
De-installall NWC and re-install it. You have a proper CD-version, I presume - not presuming anything, really?

Dear Lawrie!
You've mentioned EXATCLY the reason, thank you so much. I've installed a driver for video card, and looks like now everything became OK!
;)

Welcome to NWC, Anna. Enjoy the program, and when you become used to it, consider upgrading to the preview of version 2.

Hi Anna,
that's great news.
I wish I could take the credit for thinking of the answer but it just happens that that kind of issue has appeared with enough regularity to make the diagnosis easy.
You've got a good product to play with there, enjoy!
Lawrie

The English term for "accord" is "chord."
(1) Enter a note.
(2) Move the cursor up or down.
(3) CTRL + ENTER adds another note, same position as previous note. This forms a 2-note chord.
(4) To add another note, again move cursor, CTRL + ENTER.

The Help section does help!
Look up 'chord', and see what else there is to find out about chords. You will find it useful. I myself learned by trial and error and curses-under-my-breath, while the answers were right there.

In French, and perhaps some other languages, the musical term is "accord." A French speaker, translating "accord" to English, would get a definition that suggests "harmony" This creates the impression that "accord" is also the English musical term. But it is not.
This language error is very common.
My suggestion: NWC should modify the help file: "Accord - see chord."
