I love the way Ella and I think alike, but that was much more concise, lol.

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.

Hi, all. I have just downloaded SMB from the Sao Mai Center. I'm hoping to translate some XML files into Braille. Here are my questions:
I have some MXL files currently. How do I convert these to XML which SMB needs?
If I am in Muse Score, will it export to XML? 
Thanks so much for any guidance, 
Chris
