This package contains a couple of utilities for converting PowerTab files as generated by the PowerTab editor, to GNU Lilypond, ASCII, MusicXML and plain XML and also includes a library that can be used by other programs for accessing PowerTab files.
The parser works for all the files I could find. If you find any that crashes it, please send it to me.
The various conversion utilities are still very much alpha --- their output is erroneous. Patches in this area are most welcome.
Available utilities:
- ptbinfo : Shows general info about a PowerTab file
- ptb2ly : Convert PowerTab file to GNU Lilypond file
- ptb2ascii : Generate an ASCII Tab file
- ptb2xml : Convert PowerTab file to an XML file that resembles the PowerTab binary format
- ptb2musicxml : Convert to XML file that validates against the MusicXML DTD
Enjoy!
