MusicXML conversion to other formats

[sertansenturk]

When the MusicXML conversion is finished, it will be the main SymbTr format. Other SymbTr formats should be automatically converted from this. We need to write scripts for them. Note that we might not need to do all by ourselves. I'll indicate possible people who might do some:

These scripts should be either no-installation, one-click/call style that anybody can do it (even maybe with a simple interface) or allow "continous-deployment," i.e. after each commit the scripts should reconvert the modified/added scores.

The formats we need are

• [ ] SymbTr-txt v2
• [ ] midi
• [x] lilypond
• [x] pdf ("normal" sheet style or single line #6)
• [x] svg (to render in Dunya; @hsercanatli & @andrebola)
• [ ] mu2 -> Kemal or Utku
• [x] ABC notation? -> Seymour http://ifdo.pugmarks.com/~seymour/runabc/makams/index.html

Some of these conversions should also accept additional input parameters as explained in #6, #12

Currently, MusicXML files can be converted into Lilypond. By using lilypond, the scores can be rendered as png or pdf files.

I have to add a single call from python to bash to call the pdf/png generator from lilypond

Musescore can be used as a command line tool for automatic conversion

Using Musescore from cmd is working for converting from xml to pdf, png and midi.

For image files, the output is A4 page. For midi files, makam accidentals cannot be heard by this conversion.
