abc to nwc conversion again

Hi there,

Nothing recent on this topic that I could find, so I'll start a new one. There seem to be lots of wishes over the years for nwc to abc conversion.

There are two snags with the nwc-abc converter at http://members.aol.com/abacusmusic/ as advertised in the scriptorium.
One is that the site is currently disabled. The other is that it only supports nwc 1.75, so if you written tunes in nwc2 you cannot send them to your bandmates in abc. Does anyone fancy writing a convertor using the user tools in nwc2?

Justin.

I have returned!

I have, in response to interest on various internet lists, reinstated the website at http://www.abacusmusic.co.uk/ from where abc2nwc can be downloaded. It is now rather out of date and only works on V 1.75 Uncompressed files. Unfortunately, the V 1.75 file that can be exported from V 2 is compressed.

I'm looking into updating it using the .nwctxt files as input. In the meantime, I have run up a User Tool to generate ABC. See thread "Noteworthy to ABC (ABCgen)" on the User Tools list.
