+Over the weekend I was looking for music to [Come, Ye Thankful People,
+Come][cytpc], and ran across [Open Hymnal][OH] which has a nice
+collection of hymns in [[ABC|abcplay]].  Unfortunately, it didn't have
+the one I was looking for, so I continued searching and found [Cyber
+Hymnal][CH], which did have the hymn.
+
+Unfortunately, the Cyber Hymnal / Net Hymnal folks store their hymns
+as [NoteWorthy Composer][NWC] files (see their [FAQ][]), and the NWC
+binary file format has no public specification.  Luckily, a number of
+brave souls laid the [groundwork][] (source [here][joshua] and
+[here][hans]) for a binary-NWC-to-[LilyPond][LP] converter.  The
+original wasn't working for me, so I've put in some time rewriting it
+and cleaning things up.  I've also merged in Hans de Rijck's [1.0
+version][hans].
+
+Enjoy!
