.TH XML2PMX 1 2021-01-23  "" ""

.SH DESCRIPTION

xml2pmx translates MusicXML files to input suitable for PMX processing

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B xml2pmx 
.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.
