Convert Tool
[edit]Can someone please make a convert tool? Like from midi or musicxml file to this score type? I really need a convert tool to save time! - ABAL1412🇻🇳🇸🇺🇷🇺 (talk ☭) 16:32, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
Add title and midi
[edit]Hi, I had a working score with a midi (vorbis=1 midi=1) enabled, but I can't show any title using /header.
Then I tried using raw=1 according to the example on the page, and the title showed up, but it isn't compatible with vorbis/midi
So, how can I display both title and the midi? Thanks. Bennylin (talk) 18:18, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

MIDI file without the score
[edit]Hello,
does anyone know a possibility how to generate a MIDI file without displaying the score (other than creating and uploading the MIDI file separately)? --Furfur ⁂ Diskussion 15:28, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
<score sound raw>
\header { tagline = ##f }
triad = \relative c' { c e g }
empty = r1
\score { \empty \layout { \context { \Staff \RemoveAllEmptyStaves } } }
\score { \midi { } \triad }
</score>
Unknown error
[edit]So, I’ve just discovered this, but I’ve been havin’ problems lately. Here is the string I made.
Before:
\relative g' { \clef treble \key g \major \time 4/4
b2 c2 | d1 | e2 <<d2 fis2>> | <<b,1 g'1>> | <<e2 a2>> fis2 | <<g1 e1>> | <<a1 fis1>> | <<b1. g1. d1.>>
\bar "|."
}
</score>which resulted in:
After:
<score vorbix="1">
\new GrandStaff
\new Staff <<
\relative g' { \clef treble \key g \major \time 4/4
b2 c2 | d1 | e2 <<d2 fis2>> | <<b,1 g'1>> |
<<e2 a2>> | fis2 | <<g1 e1>> <<a1 fis1>> |
<<b1. g1. d1.>> \bar "|." } >>
\new Staff <<
\relative g' { \clef bass \key g \major \time 4/4
d,4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 |
d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 |
d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 |
d4 b4 g4 b4 | d4 b4 g4 b4 <<d1. b1. g1.>> \bar "|." } >>
</score>
which results in:
Is there something wrong with this, because before I added the second staff, It worked well. Can someone tell me what’s the error? I’m new to this kind of thing, so I don’t know the basics yet. AltoHampton (talk here) (le contrebutions) 04:31, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
- Ok, I found a way around it.

<score>...</score>is "vorbis", not "vorbix" (or "sound", which I prefer). In all your examples, the dotted whole note at the end is not possible in 4/4. - The left hand notes in your first example should all be eights, not quarter notes, as you did in examples 2 and 3.
- If you use a group staff, like GrandStaff, PianoStaff, etc, the individual staves must be surrounded by the simultaneous expression markers << >>, as you did in the third example. You forgot to show the output of your 3rd example; now below.

- Oh ok. I tried it with sound, and it worked. But, however, I’m fine with the dotted whole notes at the end, as its fitting. I didn’t notice that I misspelled vorbis as vorbix. AltoHampton (talk here) (le contrebutions) 15:02, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
