Tutorial on the basics of MEI
- Clone the repository
- Create your own branch (in which you will push your output files)
- Go into your mei_tutorial local copy and run:
docker-compose up
- When it finishes (you will see something similar to
Starting mei_tutorial_pymei_1 ... done), open a new terminal (go into your mei_tutorial local copy again) and run:
docker-compose exec pymei bash$> ipython
import pymei
- The path to the template file is:
/opt/drafts/MEI_CMN-general-structure.mei - Edit this file using pymei and save the result as
/opt/drafts/output_with_pymei.mei - Check the result in Verovio's MEI Viewer
- Push the resulting MEI file into your own branch
