## NAME

mup2mma - create MMA file using chords from MUP music notation file

## SYNOPSIS

**mup2mma** \[options\] \<mupfile\>

## DESCRIPTION

mup2mma extracts chords from a MUP music notation file and                      creates a MMA file. For this to work the MUP file must use                      the macro "C" for chord. In my MUP files I have the following:

define C bold (11) chord above all: @

This script just checks all input lines and assumes that anything               starting with "C" is a chord line.

Additional "features":

Lines in the form "// TEMPO: xx" generate a Tempo entry

"time =" lines are parsed for common time signatures

repeats are inserted as comment lines
