Chant - stemless & shape notes, hidden bar lines, 4 line staff

Here are methods to access some of the features you may need when writing Chant notation:

If you need to have notes with no stems, enter all your notes, then

Place the insertion point at the start of the staff
Press Shift+End to select/highlight the entire staff
Press Alt+Enter (for notation properties)
Check Override Stem Length, set to 0
Click OK

The note stems will show in the editor in the color you have selected for Hidden Notation (Tools: Options, Color), but they will not print.

If you need to hide bar lines, time signature, clef, key signature, etc. Remember, NoteWorthy Composer does require bar lines to know where to wrap for printing.

Select/Highlight the item
Press Alt+Enter
Under the Visibility tab, set Show on printed page to Never
Click OK

The item will change to the Hidden Notation color.

To replace all printing barlines with hidden barlines at once,

Press Shift+End to select/highlight the entire staff.
Ctrl+F3 (Edit Filtered Properties)
Click the box with the 4 dots and choose Bar Line
Click Next
Under the Visibility tab, set Show on printed page to Never, Click OK

All the bar lines will be changed to the Hidden Notation color and will not print.

Need 4 line staff? F2 (Staff: Staff Properties), Visual tab, Staff Lines, set to 4
