smw-music 0.3.5

Tools for working with SMW Music

Library and utilities for generating AddMusicK-compatible MML files from MusicXML.

The tooling has only been tested with exported MusicXML files from MuseScore 3.6.2, but it should work with outputs from other music notation software. Output files are tested against AddMusicK 1.0.8.

The software (and especially the libraries) are beta. APIs may change at any time for any/no reason.

Local Installation

Use pip to install smw_music:

pip install smw_music

Or install from source using poetry:

pip install poetry
git clone https://github.com/com-posers-pit/smw_music
cd smw_music
poetry install --only main

Usage

After installing the tools, convert a MusicXML file song.mxl to an AddMusicK MML file song.txt by running the following command:

smw_music_xml_to_amk  song.xml song.txt

See Examples in the official documentation for more detailed examples and a feature list.
