export_to_file(file_path[, pretty_print])	Exports this musical object (wrapped as a score) to the given file path.
to_xml([pretty_print])	Renders this component to MusicXML, adding a version tag, but not wrapping it up as a full score.
view_in_software(command)	Uses the given terminal command to create a score out of this musical object, and open it in music notation software.
wrap_as_score()	Wraps this component in a Score so that it can be exported and viewed

abstract render_technical() → Sequence[Element]

Renders the contents of the technicalelement.

render() → Sequence[Element]

Renders this component to a tuple of ElementTree.Element. (The reason for making it a tuple is that musical objects like chords are represented by several notes side by side, with all but the first containing a </chord> tag.)

export_to_file(file_path: str, pretty_print: bool = True) → None

Exports this musical object (wrapped as a score) to the given file path.

Parameters:

• file_path – The path of the file we want to write to.

• pretty_print – If True, breaks the MusicXML onto multiple lines, with indentation

to_xml(pretty_print: bool = False) → str

Renders this component to MusicXML, adding a version tag, but not wrapping it up as a full score.

Parameters:

pretty_print – If True, breaks the MusicXML onto multiple lines, with indentation

view_in_software(command: str) → None

Uses the given terminal command to create a score out of this musical object, and open it in music notation software.

Parameters:
