Usage

xml2pmx [{-v | --version | -h | --help}]

xml2pmx input.xml output.pmx [{p | d | v | s | l}] ..

Overview

xml2pmx translates MusicXML files to input suitable for PMX processing

Options

The meanings of the letter options are as follows:

p XML parser output; not recommended unless the terminal window process has enough storage

d information on "directions" (dynamical marks etc)

v distribution of voices over instruments and measures

s statistics of MusicXML tags like <note>, <measure> etc

l for extracting lyrics in a separate file

Releases

3 releases since Debian 12 (Bookworm); the text changed 1 time.

  1. 12–13
  2. Arch

Bugs

xml2pmx processes input in UTF-8 encoding only. MusicXML files in UTF-16 encoding should be converted using, for example, recode (in Unix-like systems) or by importing into an editor like notepad and saving in UTF-8 encoding.
