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.
