NAME

musicxml2ly − manual page for musicxml2ly (LilyPond) 2.25.25

DESCRIPTION

Convert FILE with MusicXML data to a LilyPond input file.

By default, the output file is called ’FILE.ly’ for input file ’FILE.xml’. If FILE is ’−’, read from standard input (and write to standard output).

If FILE cannot be found, ’FILE.xml’, ’FILE.musicxml’, and ’FILE.mxl’ are also tried as input files.

OPTIONS

−h, −−help

show this help and exit

−−version

show version number and exit

−v, −−verbose

be verbose

−−lxml

obsolete

−z, −−compressed

input file is a compressed MusicXML file (by default, activate if file extension is .mxl)

−r, −−relative

convert pitches in relative mode (default)

−a, −−absolute

convert pitches in absolute mode

−l, −−language=LANG

use LANG for pitch names, e.g., ’deutsch’ for note names in German

−−loglevel=LOGLEVEL

Print log messages according to LOGLEVEL (NONE, ERROR, WARN, PROGRESS (default), DEBUG)

−−oe, −−ottavas−end−early=t[rue]/f[alse]

expect <octave−shift> end elements before the associated <note> (as in Finale). Default is f[alse]

−−nd, −−no−articulation−directions

do not convert directions (ˆ, _ or −) for articulations, dynamics, etc.

−−nrp, −−no−rest−positions

do not convert exact vertical positions of rests

−−nsb, −−no−system−breaks

ignore system breaks

−−npb, −−no−page−breaks

ignore page breaks

−−npm, −−no−page−margins

−−npl, −−no−page−layout

do not convert the exact page layout and breaks (shortcut for "−−nsb −−npb −−npm" options)

−−nsd, −−no−stem−directions

ignore stem directions from MusicXML, use lilypond’s automatic stemming instead

−−ds, −−dynamics−scale=FACTOR

scale <dynamics> elements by a non−negative FACTOR; value 0 means to use lilypond’s standard size for dynamics

−−afs, −−absolute−font−sizes

use absolute font sizes in markup (default is to use font sizes based on score size)

−−nb, −−no−beaming

−o, −−output=FILE

set output filename to FILE, stdout if −

−m, −−midi

activate midi−block in .ly file

−−transpose=TOPITCH

set pitch to transpose by the interval between pitch ’c’ and TOPITCH

−−sd, −−shift−durations=VALUE

shift durations and time signatures by VALUE; for example, value −1 doubles all durations, and value 1 halves them

−−sm, −−shift−meter=BEATS/BEATTYPE

ignored; use ‘−−shift−duration‘ instead

−−tc, −−tab−clef=TABCLEFNAME
