Default Ability to import MusicXML and/or ABC

There are tons of tunes out there in MusicXML and ABC Format.

For example http://abcnotation.com/search

It's easy to convert MusicXML or ABC to MIDI. But the problem is a bunch of the structure of the tune is lost.

All the repeats, endings, pick up alignment and chord names get lost.

There are applications that can import them directly and retain format and play they. Problem is they are terrible at playing them compared to Notation Composer. I even tried Finale demo and I still think Notation is better.

But it would so nice if Notation Composer could do either format (since there converters that can convert ABC to MusicXML).
