Hi Flurmy,
The 'Batteria' staff of the input file contains, in a number of measures, chords of 2 notes with same position and same duration (but with different instruments), see example in code snippet below. This is impossible in NWC: each element in a chord must have different position or different duration. So the Warnings frame shows a 'InvalidChordError' in these cases. But this is no 'fatal error', nwcconvertor just removes the double position. (And in this case with 2 instrument change objects, but of course the second overrules the first one.
So, because it's not a fatal error, you can click 'SAVE' and get a valid nwctxt file.
Maybe I should not call it 'error' in the warnings frame (and print it in black instead of red)?
But then there were two other things I noticed in the output file:
1) The bars in the piano staves didn't line up correctly after measure 45. The reason was the presence of rests and notes with a duration of a 128th (see 2nd code snippet), which is not possible for NWC (nor for many pianists I guess). NWC removes the duration part in the nwctxt line, which results in a quarter note or rest.
2) The calculation of the positions for a percussion clef was wrong (12 positions to high).

Conclusion:
I will soon publish a new version with:
- corrected positions for the percussion clef
- text 'InvalidChordError' replaced by 'Chord with duplicate positions ans same duration'
- warnings printed in black instead of red.
- print a warning in case of a 128th duration.
