I'm new

Hello I'm trying to use your script and I'm new to this would you be able to make a short tutorial video?

[Natanael Arndt]

I'm sorry, so far I did not find the time. If someone, who knows how it works creates a video I would be happy to link it in the README.

Hi new people, these are the steps I took to use the library

make a new directory

mkdir fmf_converter
cd fmf_converter

create and start a virtual environment

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

install the package

pip install musicxml2fmf

After the installation, you will be able to use musicxml2fmf tool from the command line

example usage --help option

musicxml2fmf --help

example usage (converting a file, according to the help notes)

musicxml2fmf --input my_song.musicxml --output my_song.fmf

when done converting, deactivate the environment

deactivate

This isn't the ideal workflow but it's what I'm doing.

Disclaimer, I haven't been able to find a .musicxml file that will work with the package yet.

I got a working conversion with this:

musicxml2fmf --input hello_world.musicxml --output hello_world.fmf

hello_world.music.xml
