NAME

harmonica-tabs-creator – Convert tunes into harmonica tabs.

SYNOPSIS

harmonica-tabs-creator < input-tune.txt

harmonica-tabs-creator --transpose-from=richter:C < input-tab.txt

DESCRIPTION

Simple program to generate harmonica tabs from a textual representation of a tune, using the Music::Harmonica::TabsCreator library.

Currently harmonica-tabs-creator can only read a single input from its standard input and will write its output on the standard output.

See the GitHub page for details on the input format.

OPTIONS

--transpose-from=RICHTER:KEY, -t

Transpose from an input tab, rather than from sheet music. The tab syntax must match the syntax used in the output of this program. The arguments to this option are the ID of an harmonica tuning and the key of the input tab. The list of supported IDs can be found with the --list-tunings option. If the key is omitted, the key of C is assumed for the input.

--max-bends=NUMBER, -b

Maximum number of half-step of bending allowed to use in the generated tabs. Default to 0.

--list-tunings, -l

List the supported harmonica tunings.
