Importing Score Writer files
Is it possible to import files written in Score Writer into Musescore? These files have the suffix .scw, which is not recognised by the File Open command.

Does Score Writer have the ability to save as a MusicXML file? For more details see [[nodetitle:Export]] .
Since Score Writer is essentially a subset of Overture, the file formats are very similar (or more likely identical?).
I have tried renaming some Score Writer files, file extension .scw, with the Overture file extension .ove
Then Musescore will open these files, typically with no errors or only a few superficial errors. In particular, sometimes slurs from the original Score Writer file are not imported correctly.
Mostly, these errors are very easily corrected after a few moments work [I should, perhaps, qualify this by saying that I am normally working with rather simple scores of up to 3 staves so I cannot comment on behaviour with complex scores].
I will post a topic in the 'New features' section suggesting that Musescore should recognise the file extension .scw and should process it as equivalent to .ove
[Note: I am using Score Writer for Windows Version 4.1.0 ]

Support for SCW file extension has been added in trunk (r3301) and will be available in MuseScore 2.0.
