Dear Milton, Keith, Bill and Lawrie:
Many thanks for your helpful hints.
It has a been a while now, and I thought I could bring in some positive feedback to this thread and forum at the risk of boring you to death. Well, I take the risk.
Time flies and I am still at the bottom of the learning curve but hey: it is pure fun.
All these symbols seems to make sense at the end :-)
I have borrowed a couple of books from my local public library in the meantime.
The titles "Real Book of Blues" and "250 Jazz & Blues All-Time Hits" are among them and
after having transferred some lead sheets (like "A Mess of Blues" by Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman) into NWC, I was not only able to hear the great tunes and the accompanying chords but also to "reproduce" them on my piano. Slowly (very slowly) but surely (well, this needs still to be approved :-).
The point is that I am already tired of copying and pasting the right chords from one file to the other, at the right place with the right duration, and so I decided to go the rocky path (like Rick prognosticated) and did some coding in Perl ("if your only tool is a hammer then every problem is a nail"). The resulting script is a kind of quick and dirty program that can be viewed at as a proof of concept. It's functioning but it is in its early stage with lots of teething troubles. INPUT: NWCTXT file with one staff containing both the tune and the text chord symbols. OUTPUT: original staff plus second staff with NWC chord representation.

!NoteWorthyComposer-End
I would be grateful if someone can point me to obvious errors.
For instance, I am still unsure if chords always sound to the end of the measure, no matter if there rests in main staff.
Thank you for reading.
And sorry for the long post.
Norbert.
