musdl: Pure Python score downloader for

NOTE:

The author of musdl does NOT condone piracy in any way, and is not responsible for anything that happens as a result of piracy arising from the use of musdl.

musdl (Musescore Downloader) is a Python script that I wrote to make it easier to download scores from Musescore. It is meant to be used as a command-line tool, but can also be imported and used as a module:

from musdl import Score

my_score = Score(...)  # the Musescore url goes here
data = my_score.download("mp3")  # download as mp3, returns as bytes

Why?

See the original Javascript version for more infomation.

Take a look at this issue in the (same) Javascript downloader repo.

Requirements

• requests - Downloader.
• beautifulsoup4 - Powerful HTML parser.
• fpdf - Create pdfs

Hacking

All my python projects now use flit to build and publish. So you need to python3 -m pip install flit first.

git clone https://github.com/onyxware/musdl
cd musdl
flit build

Install

(python3 -m) pip install musdl

If you want to download PDFs, you have to install inkscape first to convert the svg files into pngs (that can be added by fpdf). On Linux, you can just install using your package manager:

(package manager) install/add inkscape

On Windows, go here to install inkscape first (although I have not tested Windows support yet).

Changelog

2.1.0

Added PDF support. Tested on Linux (but not on Windows yet), requires Inkscape to work.

2.0.0

Added -O option to use the score's title as the output filename (y'know, like curl -O). Refactored code to be object-oriented, in the form of the Score class. This should make adding new features easier. (Plus, you can use musdl more programmatically!)

1.1.2

Version bump, use Flit to build instead of setup.py. Updated README too.

1.1.0

Added MusicXML download option, thanks to JPFrancoia for the update!

1.0.0

Initial version.
