Hi Phil! Thanks for the encouragement. I'll try to respond to all your
questions later, but for now here's the python script I used to invoke
MuseScore (command line name is "mscore") on the files I downloaded from
Margaret Greentree's site. I'm running on a Mac with OS 10.6 so this should
work on Linux, too and possibly on Windows with appropriate changes to
accommodate the differences in path specs.
> cat xml2ly.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
Script that invokes mscore to convert MusicXml files in current directory
to Lilypond files.
"""
import os, sys
from subprocess import Popen
import glob
xmlfiles = glob.glob("*.xml")
## Replace with path to mscore on your system
mscore = "/Applications/MuseScore.app/Contents/MacOS/mscore"
for x in xmlfiles:
print "Converting %s ..."%x
ly = os.path.splitext(x)[0] + ".ly"
cmd = "%(mscore)s %(x)s -o %(ly)s"%locals()
print cmd
p = Popen(cmd,shell=True)
p.wait()
print "Done"
Cheers,
Mike
