Re: Converting between ABC format and NoteWorthy Reply #2 – 1998-04-22 04:00 am Thanks for the reply, I am aware of this method, I had justhoped I could do the conversion directly. Is it possible toobtain the file format for NWC? Then it would be possible towrite a conversion program.Erik :-) Quote Selected
Re: Converting between ABC format and NoteWorthy Reply #3 – 1998-04-28 04:00 am Ha - funnily enough I'd just written to the wishlist, then came browsing through the forum and read the above. I agreewith Erik that it would be good to be able to import into NWC straight from an ABC file; ABC-MIDI-NWC can end up a littlegarbled, particularly where gracenotes and triplets are concerned.I also suggested that NWC could offer reverse conversion, i.e.NWC-ABC - there are many potential uses for such a facilityand no Win95 programs that make a decent job of it.I live in hope...Alex Quote Selected
Re: Converting between ABC format and NoteWorthy Reply #4 – 2002-10-05 02:54 pm I also would love to see an "ABC - Noteworthy" and "Noteworthy - ABC" conversion programme created. Worth money to me! I host the "O'Neill's Music Of Ireland" and "Allan's Irish Fiddler" pages at http://www.sosyourmom.com and it's a daunting task to transcribe several thousand songs into NWC format. Many of these are available already as ABC files but, as one of the previous respondents stated, the conversion can get a bit "hinky" when there are gracenote, triplets and the like. Quote Selected
Re: Converting between ABC format and NoteWorthy Reply #5 – 2002-10-05 04:11 pm I recall seeing a message thread, perhaps from 6 months ago, stating that someone had a program for ABC-NWC. I don't know anything about it (I do not use ABC format), but you might check the forum using "search". Quote Selected

Re: Converting between ABC format and NoteWorthy Reply #7 – 2003-03-03 10:52 pm The link "http://members.aol.com/abacusm1/" is not matching. This is crazy. ABC has become a real popular format, and Noteworthy should join the move!I prefer to write with noteworthy, but several friends and bandmates prefer abc. it would be a real kick to have an automatic converter rather than manual.
