Been meaning to do this for a while so here goes'

HOW TO MAKE A PICTURE FILE COPY OF A NOTEWORTHY SCORE

This works perfectly with the Registered version - don't know about the Un-registered. With the Score open, select File/Print Preview/Copy. You then have three choices to copy to Clipboard (you can then paste to Word or similar) or to create a .bmp or .wmf file. You can then use a graphics editor (I like LongView) to change the graphics file to (say) a .gif file to obtain a much more compact format. This process copies only one page of the score at a time. To copy the next page of the NWC score press NEXT in the Print Preview page and repeat the process.

HOW TO CREATE A HARMONY OF THIRDS FOR AN EXISTING MELODY LINE

This is so deliciously easy to do, and will give a very satisfying simple harmony for (dare I say it?) most folk songs and dance tunes that have a single melody line. It tends to either work well, or give very obvious disharmony.

Create a new blank stave in order to post a copy of the melody line. Select STAFF/NEW STAFF. Then scroll to the melody line you wish to harmonise. Press the Left mose button and highlight all the notes in the melody line, then select EDIT/COPY from the toolbar.

Next you copy the melody line to the new staff you created earlier. Scroll down until you select the new staff without any music notes in it. Select EDIT/PASTE from the toolbar. The new staff won't have a CLEF or KEY SIGNATURE, so go to the INSERT tool to add these as appropriate.

NOW for the nitty gritty part. Making certain that you are still on the staff that has the copy of the melody line, press the left mouse button and highlight all the notes in the melody line. (You can get cleverer later and highlight just part of the score, say the chorus). Depress the SHIFT and CTRL keys at the same time also pressing the UP ARROW twice. The job is now done! Play the new score by pressing F5 or the PLAY Icon.

While the instructions may appear daunting, the whole process only takes a minute. Please note that this is quite a different process to transposing the tune. In the process described above the notes in C Major Scale would go from C to E, D to F, E to G etc. While NoteWorthy can transpose very easily, the transposition function will NOT create the harmony of Thirds.

Please give this a try: if I've made any barneys please let me know! Regards, John
