What survives the conversion
A file conversion is a translation, and formats do not carry the same things. Here is exactly what moves from NoteWorthy Composer into SVG, and what does not.
| Geometry | Kept | Both are 2-D vector formats, so the line work transfers as line work: lines, polylines, arcs, circles and filled regions stay editable geometry rather than becoming a picture. |
|---|---|---|
| Colors and materials | N/A | NoteWorthy Composer files carry no color, so the SVG comes out in the viewer’s default material. You can color it in the destination application. |
| Units and scale | Kept | SVG stores an explicit unit, so the drawing opens at true size without rescaling. |
| Text and labels | Kept | Text stays live text in the SVG, selectable and searchable, with its font family, weight, size and rotation. It is not outlined into paths. |
| Fills and effects | Kept | Fill colors, linear and radial gradients, dash patterns, line caps and joins, group opacity and clipping paths all map onto their SVG equivalents, because that is where most of them came from. |
What the SVG writer emits: From a 3-D model: the same visibility pass as the vector PDF, written as SVG paths, with hidden lines clipped. From a drawing: a direct translation of the line work, keeping strokes, fills, gradients, dash patterns, clipping and live text.
The source: NoteWorthy Composer score (NWC) (.nwc, .nwctxt)
The score engraved as sheet music: the title, author and lyricist, every visible staff with its clefs, key and time signatures, notes and rests with their beams, dots, accidentals, ties and slurs, bar lines, repeats and endings, dynamics, tempo marks and text, and every verse of the lyrics under its notes in the language it was written in.

Your file never leaves your computer
Both the NoteWorthy Composer parser and the SVG writer are JavaScript and WebAssembly running in your own browser tab. There is no upload step, no server-side conversion queue, and no copy of your file anywhere but your machine. That matters for drawings under NDA, for client work, and for anything you would not email to a stranger.

Frequently asked questions
▶Is this NoteWorthy Composer to SVG converter free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no per-file limit and no paid tier. Innerscene.
▶Is my NoteWorthy Composer file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read with the browser file API and converted in the same tab. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly click Share, which is a separate, opt-in feature.
▶Will my colors and materials survive the SVG export?
NoteWorthy Composer files carry no color, so the SVG comes out in the viewer’s default material. You can color it in the destination application.
▶Will the SVG open at the right size?
SVG stores an explicit unit, so the drawing opens at true size without rescaling.
▶How large a NoteWorthy Composer file can I convert?
Up to 200 MB, and the ceiling adapts to how much memory your device reports. The conversion runs on your own hardware, so a desktop with plenty of RAM will handle more than a phone.
▶Can I convert SVG back to NoteWorthy Composer?
Not here. We read NoteWorthy Composer and write SVG, but not the reverse. the universal 3D viewer
▶Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. No plugin and no extension.
