# mma-renum(1)

renumber mma source files.

## NAME

mma-renum  - renumber mma source files.

## SYNOPSIS

**mma-renum** *INFILE*

## DESCRIPTION

**mma-renum** renumbers the bar line numbers in an existing mma song file.

When parsing the file any line starting with a digit is assumed to be a chord-data line. Each line is numbered sequentially starting with "1".

Data lines which are processed (those with leading line numbers) are reformatted with a basic spacing of chords.

## Caveats

A complete filename is needed for **mma-renum.** Unlike in **mma** the ".mma" extension is not automatically appended.

The existing file is deleted and a new file created. It is possible to lose data.

## SEE ALSO

[mma(1)](/mma/1.md), [mma-libdoc(8)](/mma-libdoc/8.md).

## RESOURCES

The latest version of this program is always distributed with **MMA** and is available at http://www.mellowood.ca/mma
