Review title of LinwoodMuch better than expected
I tried the much more expensive PhotoScore and Musitek's own SmartScore X2, as well as the open source Audiveris. SmartScore and PhotoScore are both somewhat better due to their integrated post-recognition editor, but much more expensive. Audiversis, as of this writing, is very much a work in progress and not ready for prime time. Music-To-XML works out of the box, and does a very nice job of recognition. I take it then to MuseScore for cleanup. Irrelevant text (titles, copyrights, etc.) are often messed up, but the music transcription is surprisingly good. Even lyrics are better than I would expect and a quick proof read is all it takes. Usually a few (like 5%) of the measures end up a beat off from missed notes or confused voicing, which are fairly easy to find. A very few notes are incorrect (e.g. D vs E, as opposed to just missing entirely), which are much harder to find - but much more rare, in the last 42 bar piece (three staves) I did there were two. Overall quite good.

This online converter will (try to) read most MusicXML files and create an approximate representation of the score in NoteWorthy Composer v2.5 text format, or read a NWC text file and create a MusicXML file with it. Yes, it now works both ways! more...

To begin the conversion process, use the button below. Current version information is MusicXML2NWC v2.3.6.
Since February 6, 2013, over 14500 input files were successfully converted.
Tip #1: To save time and get a more coherent result when converting scanned music (xml => nwctxt), try to merge all pages of the musical piece in a single MusicXML file instead of submitting pages one by one. SharpEye, Photoscore and most other music scanning software have options to merge pages.
Tip #2: Sometimes, MXL files are incorrectly named .xml. The current version of the converter will not be able to detect it and will fail on invalid XML. If it fails, maybe you should try renaming it to .mxl and try again.
Tip #3: Binary NWC files cannot be converted here. Please use Noteworthy Composer v2.5 and up to save the file as 'NWC Text file' (.nwctxt).
Tip #4: Long pieces with several parts, for instance the director's score of the 5th symphony, may fail to convert because of memory limitation. If possible, split the part in pieces and try again.

Version History
Version 2.3.6
- Fixed: (xml2nwc) Whole rests are most often incorrectly converted to double-dotted halves
- Fixed: (nwc2xml) Conversion from chords to voices can mess up lyrics placement.
- Fixed: (nwc2xml) Subsequent chords can appear merged together in the resulting MusicXML file.
- New: (nwc2xml) number='1' attribute is added to <beam> elements as MuseScore incorrectly ignores those elements if the optional number attribute is missing.
Version 2.3.5
- Improved MusicXML 3.0 compatibility, validated DTD ordering of output files. Compatibility with MuseScore 2.0.
Version 2.3.4
- Fixed: (nwc2xml) Title (movement-title) element is inserted at the wrong location in the XML structure
- New: (nwc2xml) Tempo element is now supported
Version 2.3.3a
- Fixed: (xml2nwc) Conversion fails with most xml files
Version 2.3.3
- New: (xml2nwc) Better detection of incorrect Forward/Backup values that can (arguably rightfully) cause the converter to fail
- New: (xml2nwc) Better tolerance on incorrect encoding of XML files
- New: Better pre-detection of invalid files (pdf renamed as xml or mxl, non-MusicXML XML files, etc)
- Fixed: (nwc2xml) NWC files without midi instrument set may fail to import
Version 2.3.2a
- Fixed: (nwc2xml) Exception when processing Direction elements
Version 2.3.2
- Fixed: (nwc2xml) 2-voices NWC chords can insert unwanted offsets in the XML score
- Fixed: (nwc2xml) Some metadata tags don't respect the MusicXML DTD as the data is encapsulated in an extra value node.
Version 2.3.1
- Disabled support for pitch/alter because of very limited usefulness and useless accidental alterations introduced. Proper support (when accidental tag is absent) would require full tonality state to be kept for each measure during conversion. We don't know any MusicXML software producing pitch-altered notes without inserting an accidental node.
Version 2.3
- Fixed: (xml2nwc) On multi-staff parts, slurs and tie from one staff may be applied to other staves too.
- Workaround: (xml2nwc) Sybelius-exported XML files may miss some <voice> information on some <note> tags. New code to try to figure out the correct voice.
- (xml2nwc) Passed the whole Lilipond MusicXML test suite on the converter and fixed several small issues
- Fixed: (xml2nwc) Flat-flat isn't converted
- New: (xml2nwc) Support for 'pitched' rests
- New: (xml2nwc) Partial support for 'Long' and 'Breve' note types (converted to tied wholes)
- New: (xml2nwc) Partial support non-traditional key signatures (but not double sharp or double flat)
- New: (xml2nwc) Support for all noteheads supported by NWC
- Fixed: (xml2nwc) Chords are often missing one or more notes.
- New: (xml2nwc) Support for different lyrics on each staff of a multi-staff measure
- New: (xml2nwc) Support for different key signature on each staff of a multi-staff measure
- New: (xml2nwc) Support multi-measure rests
Version 2.2.3
- New: (xml2nwc) When decoding XML files, if the file contains invalid/corrupted UTF-8 characters, the invalid characters are stripped and decoding is attempted again

- The offline, .NET version is not maintained and will not be available anymore

Version 1.11

Version 1.10
