MusicBoxConverter

Converts MIDI files into music box scores that are ready to print.

Usage

1. Export the MuseScore file to a MIDI file
2. Run the MIDI file through this program.
3. Open the resulting SVG in Inkscape
4. Print the SVG to PDF (or inkscape --export-pdf output.pdf input.svg)
5. Open the resulting PDF in LibreOffice Draw
6. Print to your actual printer - tiling over multiple pages if required.

This somewhat convoluted process prevents anyone from automatically rescaling it along the way.
