[Menvi-discuss] Converting MXL to XML for translation by Sao Mai Braille

[Ella Yu]

Hi, MXL is a compressed .xml file, so you can technically rename a .mxl
file as a .zip, open it, and pull the .xml file from it. That said, SMB can
convert .mxl files directly to braille, so there's no need to worry. This
is unlike some of the older programs that could only do .xml and .musicxml,
in other words, uncompressed MusicXML. MuseScore can export MusicXML in all
its formats.
1. Go to file menu with Control F.
2. Go to export and press enter.
3. Tab twice to the file format combo box and press enter on it to browse
choices. Choose MusicXML.
4. Once that's done, press right arrow to go to another combo box. Press
enter on it to find the MusicXML format you want.
5. Export and save.
