💖 mma-renum(1) — the renumbering bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, section 1, and it's all about mma-renum ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mma-renum — renumber mma source files. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mma-renum INFILE

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so mma-renum renumbers the bar line numbers in an existing mma song file. glow-up for your chord data, no cap 🦋

here's the vibe check on how it reads your file: when parsing, any line starting with a digit is assumed to be a chord-data line. each of those lines gets numbered sequentially, starting with 1. 🧚

and the data lines that actually get processed (aka the ones with leading line numbers) come out reformatted with a basic spacing of chords. tidy. iconic. obsessed. 🌈

💀 Caveats 💀

bestie. read this part twice. 🙈

a complete filename is needed for mma-renum. unlike in mma, the .mma extension is not automatically appended. so type the whole thing out, periodt.

and now the scary bit: the existing file is deleted and a new file is created. it is possible to lose data. 😭 like, actually possible. back it up, queen. 👑
