I looked into making my Tune Finder handle SongWright a few
years  ago,  but everything I found in that format had been
translated into abc, so I didn't bother.  I'm thinking more
and  more  seriously  about fetching some Lilypond software
and getting  familiar  with  it.   I  wouldn't  be  at  all
surprised if it turned into a real competitor of abc in the
near future.
