Converting .nwc files to .ly
How do I take a nwc (under wine) file & convert it to a ly file? I have tried Rosegarden (the results are not good -- note values are off, lyrics are not in the correct place, etc), and with Denemo, I just get a score with key signature and that's all. Thanks in advance for the help. -- In Christ, Michael D ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Thanks in advance for the help. Apparently Phil Holmes made NWCTXT2Ly, Converting Noteworthy songs to LilyPond (improvement of NWC2LY). http://www.holmessoft.co.uk/homepage/software/nwc2ly/ I'm sure he could give you better advice than me.

I personally just re-transcribe NWC files. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 http://www.laymusic.org/ http://www.serpentpublications.org We had a young pitcher on that club named Jimmy St. Vrain. He was a left-handed pitcher and a right-handed batter. But an absolutely terrible hitter -- never even got a loud foul off anybody. ...he came back after striking out the second time, Frank Sele, our manager, said, "Jimmy, you're a left-handed pitcher, why don't you turn around and bat from the left side, too?" Actually, Frank was half kidding, but Jimmy took him seriously. So the next time he went up he batted left-handed. Turned around and stood on the opposite side of the plate from where he was used to, you know. And darned if he didn't actually hit the ball. He tapped a slow roller down to Honus Wagner at shortstop and took off as fast as he could go...but instead of running to first base, he headed for *third*! Oh, my God! What bedlam! Everybody yelling and screaming at poor Jimmy as he raced to third base, head down, spikes flying, determined to get there ahead of the throw. Later on, Honus told us that as a matter of fact he almost *did* throw the ball to third. "I'm standing there with the ball in my hand," Honus said, "looking at this guy running from home to third, and for an instant there I swear I didn't know *where* to throw the damn ball. And when I finally did throw to first, I wasn't at all sure it was the right thing to do!" Davy Jones, quoted in "The Glory of their Times" by Lawrence S.
