I'd like double bar lines. I'd really like that.

Huh. Okay, so I was fiddling with one of FluteNinja's arrangements and I figured out that I could do whatever I wanted with it. It seems that all you need to do is load up a full version document. I'm still toying with it, but so far all articulations and dynamics are available (including the things in the dynamics section). It's also saveable.

What doesn't seem to work is anything without a button. For example, Notepad has no option for double bar lines, so you can't place them. There's no button for a key or time change, so you can't do that. Otherwise things seem to be functioning fine.

Repeats are still decorative, btw.

Repeats should work. I was testing that last night.

It might be possible to copy and paste double bar lines; I have yet to try that. If not, I could add a shape expression.

I meant that when I insert my own repeat it still doesn't function, but when I insert my own accel. it functions properly. Copying a repeat should work fine.

More clefs than just treble and bass. For example, an alto clef, or a tenor clef, or octava clefs... Those are quite useful.

Quote from: Bubbles7689 on August 19, 2012, 10:10:08 PMAlso, as I learned before, it would be nice to have one with some grace notes in it. I copied and pasted them from a song on the site, but it took away a whole measure when I pasted them into my sheet.

Could I get your feedback on this?

That. Is. Awesome.

Like really, I can't begin to fathom how helpful that's going to be for Notepad users. Thanks Shado!

It works beautifully... Quite flawless, except for two small features..

1) What if the grace note had to have an accidental on it? (For example, a sharp or flat)
2) If the note the accidental was associated with was a dotted/double dotted note?

Those are just two ways to make it better than it already is... It's amazingly pro already though.. Thanks a ton! ;)

2) choose a shorter duration, highlight, press "."

Right. Gotcha. Again, thanks a ton! This is indefinitely valuable to notepad users everywhere! This should be under "NSM Resources".

It will eventually. I'll also ask for the templates to be added to the what your sheet should look like thread.

I've added instructions for both of these, as well as a graphic of what a highlighted note should look like.

Sounds good!

Do you think it would be necessary to have a measure in the work space in 3/8 time?
(Okay, it's not common, but it does exist... and is more commonly used than even 5/4)
