I couldn't run NWCCONVERTER on my Windows 11 PC.
Please see the attached.
The error occurred during reading the configuration file. It seems to be incorrect.
You can find this file in the map 'C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\NWCCONVERTOR\nwcconvertor.nwc'.
If you attach that file, I can look at it to see what's wrong.

G'day Opagust,

just popping in to say "thanks" for this. I use audiveris to scan pdf sheets which outputs to music xml. I've been using the niversoft online converter, but I always felt guilty 'stealing' cpu-cycles from someone else. now with your tool I can eat all my own cycles :)
and thanks for the pointer to the user/pass here - I missed it first time 'round (and posted a stupid question on your site - sorry)

and just double-checking - the 'nwcconverter-2.0.05.exe' is a standalone executable, right?

best reg's,

I have to add that Gust's converter is also far more up to date than the Niversoft one.
For goodness sake - Gust's one even accounts for the many plugins that have been written by users , not by NWC themselves.

A superb conversion program both into and out of NWC.

It seems that there may not be further updates of the NWC program (it doesn't seem like it does it  - about 9 or 10 years since the last one I think)- such a pity- however, had there been more upgrades, one of the ones that I would have wanted would have been to include Gust's converter into the native NWC program.

So sad that we have had no upgrades for years.

R,
Rich.

Hello Opagust,
I wanted to update you that I have finally been able to access the nwcconvertor program using the access credentials you shared on page 1 of this thread. Thank you very much for providing those details.
I am now able to test and compare the program with the direct MIDI export that I currently use.
Thank you very much for your work and for the time you have dedicated to developing this tool for the community. Your generosity in sharing access is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks again.
Kind regards.

Your very (very? extremely!  :-* ) helpful program converted 2 Mendelssohn files successfully - but not 3 others I tried -> they are in the attached ZIP.
Could you take a look into what happens here - not at all urgent  O:)  (I have the other 2), but maybe somewhen?
The files are from https://www.cpdl.org; the MS4 one I ran through MuseScore4, which sometimes creates a better MXL - but not here, it seems.

Thanks!
Harald

Hi Harold,
-  I could sucsessfully convert the 2 ''laudate pueri' files. Can you tell me what's your problem with them?
-  The 'Men-lau' files didn't convert, I'm looking into it. Think I can fix it.

In the options->MusicXml to NWC tab, what's that black band? (see attached screenshot)

When I use "browse" to select Ultraedit for "Open NWC output file with..." my choice seems to be ignored or, at least, not remembered.

Version 2.0.05.1 is available at https://www.opagust.be/content/nwcconvertor

Changes:

for hmmueller:
 - correction calculating position from default_y (positive is up, negative is down)
 - correction bug in tag starting with '<?' : treating as a comment

for Flurmy:
 - correction bug in determining voice numbers per staff number
   The file contained a separate staff (staff2/voice1), with only pedal marks and no notes nor rests.
   After changing the program, the conversion ends successfully, but I think you will have move the pedal marks manually at the right place in the staff where they belong

- On my computer it's a gray band, showing the path of the selected program from the combo box, see attachment.
Maybe you should change your colour theme?

- I have to check why the browse button does'nt do what should be expected. Stay tuned...

I think so too.

Well, of course the problem is the colour theme, but it's not "mine", it's the Windows 10 standard dark theme.

Thank you for the fix.
