Jun,
There are a number of "challenges" with this song
file. It's these that produce the errors rather than versions of
lilypond. I thought it might be better to run through the errors and their
fixes line by line - hopefully this will help you into the future. I'll
put my commented fixes in a different colour, and apologise to those who don't
get on with HTML or top posting.... Here's the logfile
output:

This is a problem with the
information in your file - the comments include a #, which is a reserved
character for lilypond. I could add a feature to my converter to allow
this, but the simplest fix is to change # to No. However, I also use the
comments for a different part of the lilypond output, so the optimum fix is to
change the information completely, getting rid of this comment. I've done
this in the attached file.

This is a consequence of the issue
above, and is fixed as described above.

This is a bug in my program - your
quote marks are not ascii and so have to be encoded, and I've got that wrong
when they're with other text. The simplest fix is to use ordinary quote
marks, and also to get rid of the stanza (verse) numbers and use the converter
feature with automatic stanza numbers - these look much better.

These are caused by the rather
strange music in bar 10. The music uses Noteworthy's ability to put
voicing onto a single staff line - this is quite hard to convert to lilypond
(it
requires my converter to use what's called implicit voicing) and with the
triplets combined with the slurs and the voicing, my converter gets it
wrong. The _best_ way to fix this is to update the noteworthy input to use
separate layered staves where separate voices are needed. Where there
aren't separate notes, we just have hidden rests.
I've done that as attached.
There are some difficulties with the way the tie swaps from an upstem note to a
downstem one in bar 10, so I've used a hidden note to accommodate it. Once
done, and rerunning the converter and lilypond, we get:
D:/Music/NWC2Ly/xSinsSoprano.ly:15:84: warning:
barcheck failed at: 1/4
ees'8.^\markup {\large \italic "Duet"}
ees'16^\markup {\large \italic "Gently"}
| % 1
This is because your tune starts with
a partial bar (an upbeat, or an anacrusis). We fix with the a lilypond
command of \partial. The other thing to be aware of is that your lyrics
ignore the beaming of the notes, so we allow for that with a converter command:
ignoreBeams.
Finally - you've helped me find a bug
where we have the lyric word!". I've fixed this and have just uploaded an
updated version.
I hope my notes have been useful and
you'll persevere with my converter and lilypond. There's some learning to
do, but the results are worth it, IMHO.

Hi Phil
I tried nwc2ly, the converted lilypond file version is 2.15.26. and It gave
some syntax error under
my 2.16.2 system.
Any way to convert 2.15.26 to my current version or I have install a old
version?
Thanks

Try converting direct from Noteworthy to
Lilypond:

Subject: Vocal music sheet - hyphens
wrongly engraved
Hi
I am new to lilypond, I am helping my church
to generate music
sheet in pdf
in order for them to practice in choir.
The original score is in nwc format, so I
used nwc2xml to convert it into musicxml, then I tried to load
the musicxml file into musescore and print the pdf. The pdf generated from
musescore is ok, but It has limited control on the layout. So I
turn to lilypond. I used muxiscml2ly (version 2.16.2) to convert to
lilypond file. It works great, the quality of the final pdf definitely
better than the pdf generated from musescore. but I found couple
engraving issue, I want to see if you can help. I attached musicxml file,
lilypond file and pdf file for your reference.
First, I found hyphens are engraved for 3 times. see the 3 hythons between
"He’ll" and "forgive" and also lyrics
of measure 11 and measure 12. this seems
to be my major issue so far.
Second, This could be muxiscml2ly
convertion issue, see "Duet Gently" and "Quartet" are printed for 3
times. I checked the generated lilypond file, looks like extra voices
are added. I was able to fix this by remove following lines from
lilypond file.
\context Voice = "PartPOneVoiceOne" { \voiceOne
\PartPOneVoiceOne }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "PartPOneVoiceOne"
\PartPOneVoiceOneLyricsOne
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "PartPOneVoiceOne"
\PartPOneVoiceOneLyricsTwo
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "PartPOneVoiceOne"
\PartPOneVoiceOneLyricsThree
\context Voice = "PartPOneVoiceTwo" { \voiceThree
\PartPOneVoiceTwo }
\context Voice = "PartPTwoVoiceTwo" { \voiceThree
\PartPTwoVoiceTwo }
Thanks
Jun
