4.3 Converting from other formats
Music can be entered also by importing it from other formats. This chapter documents the tools included in the distribution to do so. There are other tools that produce LilyPond input, for example GUI sequencers and XML converters. Refer to the website for more details.
These are separate programs from lilypond itself, and are
run on the command line; see Command-line usage for more
information. If you have MacOS 10.3 or 10.4 and you have trouble
running some of these scripts, e.g. convert-ly, see
MacOS X.
