Apologies to all for not posting thanks sooner -- I was on the road and left my login information at home!

For present purposes, Lawrie's suggestion seems spot on, but I want to check out Rick's -- I generally wean myself from GUI dependence, and it would be nice to do it with NWC too. As to the other issue, my impression is that the NWC defaults for labeling dal segnos etc. attempt to harmonize various conventions in a way that everyone should be able to make some sense out of, but I agree with David that they look clunky. (But I don't recall ever seeing a three-line block; of course, there's a lot I haven't seen. Does that already exist in the wild?)

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Steven,

Welcome to the NoteWorthy community. 

Lawrie described the ordering options.  You might also like to consider the community of NoteWorthy users you'll have available for you.

Humble opinion  ...  the ideas, resources and help you'll find for this software are the finest of any music notation software anywhere. 

You have this community here in this public forum, and also in another one that's available for registered users which you'll be able to join after you get your registration.

There's also the NoteWorthy 'Scriptorium' site which has an excellent library of NoteWorthy scores, with plenty of examples showing how to get the best from the software.

Cheers,

Joe

G'day Steven,
first, welcome to the forum.  Now, the order page:
http://www.noteworthysoftware.com/composer/order.htm
states:

Which I interpret to mean that you get an electronic copy for $49 that you can save to disk and install/reinstall from.  For an additional $10 you also get an installation CD sent to you.

I know there are extra goodies on the CD but I don't know if they are included as part of the download.  I suspect not, but I do know that at least some of them are available as a free, additional download.

Considering the benefits of buying NWC 2.1:  Does the purchase price include a valid installation disk?  Or does the dowloaded activated version include a valid install file that can burned to a data disk?  Or is the purchase of the license a sort of subscription to whatever is currently available?  In short, what does the customer get for his money?   Not being critical here, I would just like to understand the deal better.  What?  I have to actually READ the agreement?  lol.  Any feedback would be welcome though.

Six shot harmonium...  :P

Ha Ha! The other (musical) Duke.

Thank you David.
I was wondering what MIDI category was "slipknot"...

What instrument did John Wayne play?

Not really anything like the "Duke"

Drums, guitar, bass, vocals, sampler (whatever that is), and turntables.

Read about the history of the band at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipknot_(band)

I have a hunch it's not my type of music, but I could be wrong.  I've never heard of them, nor heard them that I'm aware of.
