ABC notation to MusicXML notation function(repost)

Need a function that will convert music from the ABC notation format to the MusicXML notation format. My ideal solution would be for the source code to be in VB6. But I am open to this being done in another programming language (like C) and developed as a stand-alone DLL (no dependencies) whose exported function will be called from a VB6 app. Public Function ABCtoMusicXML(pstrABCNotation as String) as String End Function Information on ABC music notation can be found here: [login to view URL] Information on MusicXML music notation can be found here: [login to view URL] There are a couple products on the Internet that claim to be able to do this. I list them here for the bidders in case there is some open source or other information of interest/assistance. - GNU project "abcsh" [login to view URL] - Linux ABC to XML [login to view URL] The successful bidder must have knowledge of western music notation concepts. All code must be well documented and all variable names must be clear and descriptive. All reasonable error conditions should be accounted for and returned via status codes by the function. Final payment will not be released until a two week testing period of the finished product has been completed. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
