Dear Frank,
The MIDI format only holds the music information while Noteworthy Composer also holds much more information needed to create beautiful scores. If you import a midi file, you have the basic music information like which frequency should be played and how long. If you want also the correct key, verses and refrain, or even if the sound should be a D# or an Eb, you should add/correct all these things yourself.

The midi import of MuseScore is better than that of NWC. For example, it can notate the triplets.
After the importing in MuseScore, you can export it in mxml and then converting to nwctxt via NWCConvertor or this.
But don't expect the perfection, of course...

Just as a personal perspective, I find it is much quicker to simply enter the notation directly* than mess with MIDI imports.
Unless you ONLY have MIDI then there isn't much choice.

* I use the computer keyboard and keyboard shortcuts almost exclusively when notating.  It is extremely rare that I will use the mouse as the keyboard is much, much faster.
I plays 'Bones, crumpets, coronets, floosgals, youfonymums 'n tubies.

Of course. That's a very nice feature of NWC.
