General Discussion / Re: Bulk Save NWC files
As @Flurmy  says, the conversion utility is built into NWC now. It can be invoked by typing the following at a Windows command prompt:

nwc2 -convert {input-file} {output-file}

It will automatically convert between .nwc, .mid or .nwctxt file types, based on the supplied extensions for {input-file} and {output-file} above. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to "convert" an old-style .nwc file to the current .nwc format (as @Rick G. mentioned earlier, NWC does this automatically when you open a file and save your changes.)

However, if your goal is convert the scores to MusicXML, you could convert your .nwc scores to .nwctxt, which the online converter supports. Typing the following at a command prompt will bulk convert all of the .nwc files in the current folder to .nwctxt files in a subfolder named "Converted":

for %i in (*.nwc) do "C:\Program Files (x86)\Noteworthy Software\Noteworthy Composer 2\nwc2.exe" -convert "%i" "Converted\%itxt"

If your NWC program is installed in a different location, be sure to update that in the above command. Also, the "Converted" folder needs to be created before you run the command.

Yes, discovered the conversion utility. Tried to save from filename.nwc to filename-new.nwc, but didn't work. However, didn't try it to convert it to the .nwctxt format. Not sure what the results will be .. but a nice job for the holiday's ;-)

And @hmmueller , there's beside AHK also a graphic based automation tool to make some kind of loop for GUI's: Sikuli. There should be an extra step to move a converted from a folder, and then open the next one, repeat till all are done.
However, i prefer a CommandLine-option.

General Discussion / Bulk Save NWC files
Hi all,

As a new user of NW, i need to upgrade several old NWC-files to the new format.
1) how can i see which version a NWC is in?
2) can i re-save several (old) NWC-files?

Thanks in advance,
