xml2abc-js

xml2abc-js is a utility that translates MusicXML into ABC+ notation.

This version is written in Javascript and is an almost one-to-one, line-by-line translation of the Python version xml2abc.py

Features:

• See xml2abc.py

Demo:

• Try xml2abc-js.html and drag/drop a MusicXML file to see the ABC translation and a SVG rendering by abc2svg

Download:

• NPM tarball: xml2abc.tgz, the change log
  The tarball contains xml2abc-js revision 118. It also contains a command line program xml2abc_cli for nodejs, that behaves the same as xml2abc.py. It accepts the same options and arguments and produces the same output.
• To install in a local directory: (with the npm package manager)

> cd local_directory
> npm init -y
> npm install https://wim.vree.org/js/xml2abc.tgz

• To run (in the local install directory):

> node_modules/.bin/xml2abc -o. your_score.xml

• or (anywhere, when installed globally with npm install -g):

> xml2abc -o. your_score.xml

• To update (in the local install directory):

> npm update xml2abc

npm remembers the URL of the tarball, reads it, compares the versions and updates if newer.
