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-preprocessor for
       MusicXML files.

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

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.
