Hi,
I'm the author of http://nwc2musicxml.appspot.com an open source nwctxt to
MusicXML converter and one of the core committer of MuseScore. I also
manage http://abc2xml.appspot.com/ and the abc import plugin of MuseScore.
To me, it always make more sense to create convertors to MusicXML and
improve the MusicXML import in MuseScore instead of creating an importer in
MuseScore... If the language of the converter is web friendly, setting up a
simple webservice with an API enables a very easy deployment and
iterations. Also a plugin for MuseScore can be use for the import.
Obviously other people disagree and that why we have Capella, Overture and
Guitar Pro import in MuseScore. I have to agree that it's also a lot more
user friendly. Unfortunately, none of these importers are perfect and
improving them requires quite some knowledge of MuseScore internals so it's
less easy to contribute compared to a simple XXX2XML converter...
Two things to note:
1/ https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=9281.0 Noteworthy forked my
code and it could be they are working on a native MusicXML export. It's
probably a good idea to ask them before any effort?
2/ NWC2XML is indeed a good start. I actually started a reverse engineering
effort based on it but it's really the very start ...

Also I believe Music21 also have a nwc importer based on NWC2XML
