15.3 Invoking musicxml2ly

MusicXML is an XML dialect for representing music notation.

musicxml2ly extracts the notes from part-wise MusicXML files, and writes it to a .ly file. It is invoked from the command-line.

Note that by “command-line”, we mean the command line of the operating system. See Converting from other formats for more information about this.

The following options are supported by musicxml2ly:

-h,--help

print usage and option summary.

-o,--output=file

set output filename to file. (default: print to stdout)

-v,--version

print version information.
