💖 pmxchords — the manual, but make it a vibe 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

pmxchords — This script processes pmx files with chord symbols, allowing for key transpositions 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

[ texlua ] pmxchords { option | jobname [ .pmx ] } ...

so the default effect? preprocessing each pmx file so that chords are transposed as necessary, generating a temporary pmx file, which is then processed by pmxab 🦋 and finally, the resulting tex file gets renamed to have the original jobname. no cap.

the default filename for the temporary file is <jobname>_chtr.pmx — remember that name, she's important 🔥

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -v — output program name and version number, and quit. she's giving ✨introductions✨ then immediately leaving the party 😭
• -h — output usage summary and quit. a lil "here's how to use me" moment, then she's gone 💀
• -s — stop after first step (of producing a temporary pmx file with transposed chord symbols). literally just the first step and nothing else, she said "one thing at a time bestie" 🫶
