Noteworthy to ABC (ABCgen)

Here is my first attempt at a UserTool to generate ABC from Noteworthy 2. It is not fully functional but covers my basic needs as a folk musician.

Bug reports, comments and suggestions for what functionality to add next are very welcome. I'm on a fairly steep learning curve for php and object oriented programming.

When I installed this, I got a generic error message on a file with just a simple, two measure d major scale on the treble clef.  Any ideas?

There are no generic error messages :-)

I didn't get errors unless I tried to send 'File text', where I got:
Quote from: STDERR
Error: [in <path>\lib\obj_NWC2Clip.inc, at line 35] --> Unrecognized notation clip format header
IOW, the tool only supports 1 staff.

Look at the User Tool Description 'Command:' field. It should start with: php\php.exe

I only had "php.php.exe" .. close but no cigar.

After fixing it I took it's output to my gizmo--the generated line was almost identical to the original.  The notes were fine but there were a few problems with slurs and beams on grace notes and I couldn't handle tenuto lines over some notes.  Finally a major incentive to learn php.

Once again, many thanks for your help.

More like two. I'm getting the same on my new PC under Windows 7. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. Do I gather you've got it working, Warren?

I'm afraid it will take me a while to remind myself how it works.

Welcome Back!

I got it working but haven't done too much with it yet.  This is what it produced:
Code: [Select · Download]
X:1
T:insert tune name here
M:4/4
L:1/8
Q:1/4=60
K:C
(^g4-gg) ((3g/a/g/^^f/g/)|(3a^c=d (3^e^fa (^c'=c') ({b/}{^c'/} b)a|^g2(g2-g3/2g/) (g3/2g/)|^g2(g2-g3/2g/) g3/2(g/|_a3/2a/) (a3/2a/) (a3/2=g/) (a3/2_b/)|(_a3/2g/) (a3/2_b/) (3_d'_c'b (3ag_g|(3f_ef (3_afa (3_c'ac' (3_e'c'e'|f'z Lb2Lb2Lb2
and the attachment shows the original NWC (created to avoid an awkward page turn) as well as my conversion back to NWC.  My page can't handle tenutos yet, it missed a triplet and interpreted the ( as the beginning of a slur.  Time for me to get tinkering again.

Please check out this thread if you haven't already.

Again, welcome back.
