User Tools / Re: NWC to LilyPond
Because I've written the score translator to use the facilities provided by the user tool, you need to download both executables and put them both in the same directory. I've updated my instructions on the web site and I hope this should fix your problem. Please let me know if it doesn't - but in any case, how you get on.

General Discussion / Re: Request: Advanced player for choir members
Does anyone know a way to regulate the volume for each staff (or midi channel).
This can be done either by setting the volume for each staff in the Staff Properties, or by using dynamic markings on each staff - piano, forte, etc. Make sure you assign each staff to a different midi channel.

User Tools / Re: NWC to LilyPond
which version of Lilypond is the target of your translator?
I'm using it with the latest stable version - 2.12.3. Why do you ask?

As before, it's at http://www.philholmes.net/software/ and feedback is welcome. I'm away for a week or so so if you give feedback and it's not answered, that's why.

I've tried to work this out, but can't. Could someone explain what the check box "Use stem for articulations" (notated as ArticulationsOnStem in the text output) actually does? TIA.

do you work at Microsoft? :-)
Er - no - I just use their software. Now corrected :-)

Downloaded it from your site and ran it through a virus checker
Crashes if you try to run it outside the User Tool environment (no STDIN)
Not a problem except that it wants to send an error report to MicroSoft (I declined)
Many changes to NWC2 since Mike Wiering wrote nwc2ly version 0.21
NWC2 can now export the entire file as nwctxt
This would seem to be a better mechanism to derive a page layout.
Agreed. However, as I said, I started with a port of the previous program. When I've got more of the features working, I'll look at using it to do multi-voice songs.
There appear to be problems with RestChords and split duration chords.
I'm perfectly happy to put each voice on its own staff.
Yes - I was aware of that but forgot to document it. It's now documented and the error message is a bit more helpful, I think. The problem with fixing it is that the current program parses the input one note at a time and then immediately writes the output. To do polyphony using different voices (which is needed for chords with differing note lengths) correctly, you need to write a whole bar to each voice, and that means remembering a whole bars-worth of output before writing it - so I need some time to think about how best to do that.
