Python nwc2ly 1st Public release

Hi all,

I have wrote a converter to reading noteworthy composer 1.75 uncompressed file 
format to writing lilypond's 2.4 notes.

This means friends with noteworthy composer can send you a copy of nwc and you 
can convert them to lilypond for editing or printing. Another way, you would 
like to use nwc for note entries (could be much for easier for windows users) 
or for cleaning midi conversions then turn them into lilypond format.

Syntax for running is:
        python nwc2ly uncompressed.nwc output.ly

Anyway, nwc 1.75 is available to download as a free evaluation (unregistered) 
version at http://www.noteworthycomposer.com.
For linux users, you can try the wine version of nwc from       
http://www.vpmag.com/nwc/helpful.html#Wine


NOTE: This converter is differs with the nwc2ly found at 
http://nwc2ly.sourceforge.net/

nwc2ly(python) vs nwc2ly(user tools)

python version: for nwc 1.75
user tools version: for nwc 2

python version: runs on the command line
user tools version: run as a nwc user tool

python version: requires an uncompressed nwc file
user tools version: requires nwc version 2

* An important missing feature IMO is the ability to convert compressed nwc 
files. If anyone knows how to uncompress the nwc file normat, i'll be very 
intested to know how.

If anyone knows how to improve on other features lacking or missing, let me 
know too. If the lilypond team likes this, feel free to adopt this file in the 
next package too.

I love to know of any comments you have.
