I think you must have seen an old version, Stan.

Crescendo/decrescendo has been included in Notworthy for some time (but not
hairpin notation), so have coda and DS symbols. Grace notes were added at
the last upgrade (to version 1.50) but they are still not perfect. The user
forum can't agree on whether grace notes should borrow from the preceding or
following note (my view is "it all depends..."). The various ornaments can
currently be added as text symbols if you have access to a suitable font but
the do not play ...yet (this item is very high on most NWC user's wish
list).

As I said - visit the forum to see what it can and can't do and what us
users are nagging the developer to provide. Also see the level of support
we get.
