ml2mxml

ml2mxml is an OCaml library to generate musicxml (http://www.musicxml.com/) files.

That library was developed for two reasons:

• the lack of what 'git' offers, in music score editors,
• the hard time experienced when using the cut/copy/paste features of Guitar Pro 6 (http://www.guitar-pro.com/en/index.php).

With that library, music can be written as:

• write an OCaml program (see examples/hello_ode_of_joy.ml),
• compile/execute it (% omake ex),
• open the generated musicxml file, with for example a midi player that understands the format (see http://www.musicxml.com/software/).

Up to now, the generated files were tested with Guitar Pro 6 only. If you're experiencing problems with another musicxml reader, don't hesitate at creating issues (https://github.com/yetanotherion/ml2mxml/issues).

Instructions

The library can be installed with opam (http://opam.ocaml.org/):

% opam install ml2mxml

To build from source, the following dependencies are needed

% opam install ocamlfind cow omake ounit

Then, the following omake targets are available:

• build the library:
