# MuseScore CLI Skill ## Overview Wraps MuseScore 4's `mscore` backend for music notation tasks: transposition, export to multiple formats (PDF, PNG, MP3, MIDI, MusicXML, Braille), part extraction, instrument management, and score analysis. ## Commands ### Project Management ```bash cli-anything-musescore --json project info -i score.mscz cli-anything-musescore --json project open -i score.mscz ``` ### Transposition ```bash # Transpose to a target key cli-anything-musescore --json transpose by-key -i score.mscz -o out.mscz --target-key "C major" --direction closest # Transpose by semitones cli-anything-musescore --json transpose by-interval -i score.mscz -o out.mscz --semitones 3 # Diatonic transposition cli-anything-musescore --json transpose diatonic -i score.mscz -o out.mscz --steps 2 ``` ### Part Extraction ```bash cli-anything-musescore --json parts list -i score.mscz cli-anything-musescore --json parts extract -i score.mscz -o piano.mscz --part "Piano" cli-anything-musescore --json parts generate -i score.mscz -d ./parts/ ``` ### Export ```bash cli-anything-musescore --json export pdf -i score.mscz -o score.pdf cli-anything-musescore --json export mp3 -i score.mscz -o score.mp3 --bitrate 192 cli-anything-musescore --json export png -i score.mscz -o score.png --dpi 300 cli-anything-musescore --json export midi -i score.mscz -o score.mid cli-anything-musescore --json export musicxml -i score.mscz -o score.musicxml cli-anything-musescore --json export braille -i score.mscz -o score.brf cli-anything-musescore --json export batch -i score.mscz -o score.pdf -o score.mid ``` ### Instrument Management ```bash cli-anything-musescore --json instruments list -i score.mscz cli-anything-musescore --json instruments add -i score.mscz -o out.mscz --id keyboard.piano --name "Piano" cli-anything-musescore --json instruments remove -i score.mscz -o out.mscz --name "Violin" ``` ### Score Analysis ```bash cli-anything-musescore --json media probe -i score.mscz cli-anything-musescore --json media stats -i score.mscz cli-anything-musescore --json media diff --reference a.mscz --compare b.mscz ``` ### Session ```bash cli-anything-musescore --json session status cli-anything-musescore --json session undo cli-anything-musescore --json session redo cli-anything-musescore --json session history ``` ## Supported Input Formats - `.mscz` (MuseScore native) - `.mxl` (compressed MusicXML) - `.musicxml` / `.xml` (MusicXML) - `.mid` / `.midi` (MIDI) ## Key Names for Transposition Major: Cb, Gb, Db, Ab, Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A, E, B, F#, C# Minor: Ab, Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A, E, B, F#, C#, G#, D#, A# Accepted formats: "C", "C major", "Am", "A minor", "Db major", "F# minor" ## Agent Guidance - Always use `--json` flag for machine-readable output - Verify exports with `export verify` after rendering - Use `media probe` to inspect an unknown score before operating on it - Transposition requires both `-i` (input) and `-o` (output) - Part names are case-insensitive for `parts extract`
