General Commands Manual but make it main character energy

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for muse-song-convert — yes, the MUSE-SONG-CONVERT(1) one, from the General Commands Manual. no cap, it's giving "convert between MusE songfile formats" and honestly? slay. 💖

👑 NAME 👑

muse-song-convert — convert between MusE songfile formats

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

muse-song-convert songfile

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so MusE (the MIDI Music Editor) uses a custom file format to store its song files. and bestie, that format has changed between MusE versions 0.6 and 0.7 in incompatible ways. incompatible!! 💀 periodt.

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. yay! 🎉

but listen: it is not possible to convert a new song back to the old format. nope. can't do it. 🙈

to prevent data loss, muse-song-convert does not modify the original songfile. instead, it copies and converts the original songfile as songfile.converted. iconic behavior, honestly. 🫶

the process is meant to retain all information in the converted songfile, but it may not be perfect in all cases. so like... it's trying its best, okay? 😭
