Hi Craig, > Do I append "for f in *.xml" to the end of my command;
No, you put all your command within the for loop: for f in *.xml; do /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/musicxml2ly --nd --nrp --npl --no-beaming -m --language=english $f; done (all this is one line – or written in several lines:) for f in *.xml do /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/musicxml2ly \ --nd --nrp --npl --no-beaming -m --language=english $f done I hope this syntax is the same on a Mac.
