NAME
muse-song-convert - convert between MusE songfile formats
SYNOPSIS
muse-song-convert songfile
DESCRIPTION
The MIDI Music Editor MusE uses a custom file format to store its song files.
This format has changed between MusE versions 0.6 and 0.7 in incompatible ways.
The utility
muse-song-convert
is able to convert songfiles from 0.6 to the new 0.7 format, so old songs
can be loaded into new versions of MusE. It is not possible to convert a
new song back to the old format. To prevent data loss,
muse-song-convert
does not modify the original
songfile.
Instead, it copies and converts the original
songfile
as
songfile.converted.
The process is meant to retain all information in the converted songfile, but
may not be perfect in all cases.
