Re: Re: Converting from MusicXML to Lilypond format

[Charles Cave]

Another thing you can do is to create a batch file called musicxml2ly.bat
and save it in the "bin" directory of your LilyPond installation
(for example, d:/program files/lilypond/usr/bin)

The contents of this file will be:

@echo off
echo Converting MusicXML to Lilypond
call python "d:/program files/lilypond/usr/bin/musicxml2ly.py"  %1%
echo completed


When you want to convert a file, the command line is easier:

> musicxml2ly -v DebuMandSample.xml
Reading MusicXML...
Converting to LilyPond expressions...
Converting to LilyPond expressions...
Converting to LilyPond expressions...
Output to `DebuMandSample.ly'
Printing as .ly...
