NAME
xml2pmx - translates MusicXML files to input suitable for PMX processing
SYNOPSIS
xml2pmx [-v | --version | -h | --help]
xml2pmx input.xml output.pmx [ p | d | v | s | l ] ..
DESCRIPTION
The musixtex.lua script from version 0.23 supports xml2pmx as a pre-pre-
processor for MusicXML files.
OPTIONS
The meanings of the letter options are as follows:
p XML parser output; not recommended unless the terminal win-
dow 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
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.
