What's New:
Feathered Beams are now possible in NAPro. Feathered beams are beams which imply a rhythmic accelerando or ritardando within a beamed group. The interface for feathered beams is a new tab view in the Beam, Ties, Tremolo pane of the Music Images Panel and is named "Beam X". This interface allows you to add a feathered beam to an existing beam group. To create feathered beams, select the note at the beginning of the beam segment you want to alter, then choose the feather type and direction from the 6 radio buttons, then click on the Create Feathered Beams button. If you want to create more complex beaming groups, you may need to specify the beam segments using the Beams pane in the same pane. The example below shows 2 different beam structures and the possible results of adding feathered beams
It is now possible to add Begin Repeat barlines at the beginning of systems using the menu item "Add / Remove Begin Repeat" which is located in the Modify/Barlines menu and in the miniature menu located at the top-right corner of the Barline/Braces pane of the Music Images panel. The Begin Repeat barlines replicate the barline structure of the system and are located before the first beat of the measure. Normally, this feature is only needed when you want to add a repeat sign at the beginning of a system -- for other situations you can set the barline type of the previous measure to be a Begin Repeat barline type. The example below shows the beginning of a score without and with the Repeat Begin Barlines.
The Custom Setup panel now allows you to indicate staff labels for the first page of the score and abbreviated staff labels for all subsequent systems. There is also a setting to inset the left margin on the first page (to accommodate the longer staff labels), a check box to indicate whether or not you want to use abbreviated labels, and buttons which enable you to copy between the two lists of staff labels. =
Templates for scores are now available using a pull-down menu on the Document Setup panel. A large number of templates (in different categories) have been created and are stored in the /Library/Application Support/NoteAbilityTemplates folder. You can save your own templates into this location (using the Save Template button) and organize your own templates into folders.
