ABC Import Filter
Can i add the creation of an ABC notation import filter to the wish-list?
ABC has a growing band of followers mainly amongst exponents of Western traditional music (English, Irish etc). It was conceived as a simple way of notating simple single-stave melodies.
Conceptually it seems very similar to a dialect of DARMS, though it has been extended and now has a standards committee that oversees the standard.
Anyway, I can see MuseScore being welcomed with open arms by ABC users as a convenient way to print & publish tunes in ABC format.
All the best, and keep up the good work, this is a MUCH needed application.

I put together several technologies to provide an abc2MusicXML webservice.
Here it is : http://abc2xml.appspot.com/
It depends on the performance of the ABC4j parser. I tested with a couple of tunes and it works ok. It does not work for songbook and may render only the first tune. You can import the resulting MusicXML file in MuseScore to correct it.Please give feedback.
I may do a plugin for MuseScore with it.

That's a pretty handy webapp.
By the way the link to MuseScore at the bottom of the page takes you to the Wikifonia homepage.

Thank you. It's fixed.
If others feel the same I may release a plugin for next musescore version.
But posting to a custom URL and get the result with QtScript is far from straighforward...
