RB  [ \-v\ |\ \-\-version\ |\ \-h\ |\ \-\-help ]

B xml2pmx
IR input .xml
IR output .pmx
[ p | d | v | s | l ] ..

The
BR musixtex.lua
script
from version 0.23 supports
BR xml2pmx
as a pre-preprocessor for MusicXML files.

SH 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

SH BUGS

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