QwikKey Music Input

QwikKey is a PHP User Tool script for NoteWorthy Composer 2.5 or above. It is a User Tool script that runs within NWC2.5 or above, off the Tools->User Tool main menu option. QwikKey aims to make the keying-in of music into NoteWorthy Composer 2.5 or above, as quick as possible. QwikKey is ideally suited for a composer or transcriber who wants to spend minimal time on entering music. Using the text-only QwikKey musical notation, the full range of musical entities can be entered directly onto stave or into a file, and then converted into standard staff notation inside a NWC file. An example of QwikKey notation is '\_ {cG, V3, q_, l4e@1| q!;5a@2, ir;c#@4, r;b@3, a@2 | Vc, q!;c#, lb| Vd, q!;a, l4f#| V3, q.!e@3' which converts into the staff notation for the melody Amazing Grace, complete with treble clef, dynamic markings, legato slurs, fingering numbers and musical accents. The html usage guide in the zipfile contains a full installation guide, tutorials and examples on how to use QwikKey. Many Thanks to Rick G, Warren Porter, and Lawrie Pardy for their help and advice. QwikKey can be downloaded from the NWC Files Scriptorium under the User Tools section. QwikKey is written by Ian Low. If you wish to contact me, please send a message to ilow99 via the NWC Forum.
