You're right, it is indeed a way.
In my case, my logic is rather "Section A" begins after the bar line : that's
why I would rather write D"A"+15 at the very beginning. In this case, the
command doesn't refer to the note, but to the bar line.
Moreover, I try to develop a "user tool" for NoteWorthy 2 (refered to as NWC).
My goal is to "translate" NWC language into PMX language. For some options, for
example "Crescendo", NWC coding is the following :
|Note|A,whole
|Bar
|Note|G,half,Crescendo
|Note|G,half,Crescendo
|Bar
|Note|A,whole
With PMX, it would be
A0 /
G2 D< G2 D< /
A0
BUT... with an algorithm, it's much easier to read line by line. When reading
the second "|Note|G,half,Crescendo", I don't know if "Crescendo" continues on
the next note. That's why I decided to write the second D< before the next
note/rest without "Crescendo". In the latter example, that won't work due to
the bar line.
Then, if there had been a way to make D work after a bar line, I would have
used it. I guess I just have to delay the writing of the bar line after having
checked the next note/rest !
Thanks for your help,
Xavier
