Why are my notes highlighting before they are played?

Most likely, the computer is using a soft synth with a very high note latency (in other words, the notes are not being played by the computer when NWC asks them to be played). Switching to a synth built into a sound card will usually solve this, as "real synths" generally have a very small play latency compared to soft synths.
