Batch convert solution
Hi guys! I often end up with a lot of Musescore documents that needs to be converted to PDF.
Since the batch convert plugin isn't available for version 4.4 I needed to find a solution.
I'm on MacOS 14.7 and using Musescore 4.4. This is what I ended up up doing:
Writing a simple Apple-script that converts all .mscz in a folder to PDF.
Then I inserted the script in MacOS Automator and was able to save it as an app.
Look at the attached gif. Feel free to use :)
Here's the script:
-- Choose the folder with MuseScore files
set folderPath to POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Select the folder with MuseScore files:")
-- Find all .mscz files in the folder using shell
set findCommand to "find " & quoted form of folderPath & " -type f -name '*.mscz'"
set msczFiles to paragraphs of (do shell script findCommand)
-- Get the number of files found
set fileCount to count of msczFiles
-- Initialize counter for converted files
set convertedCount to 0
-- Convert each .mscz file to PDF
repeat with filePath in msczFiles
set outputPath to filePath & ".pdf"
-- Run MuseScore via the command line to export to PDF
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/mscore -o " & quoted form of outputPath & " " & quoted form of filePath
set convertedCount to convertedCount + 1
end repeat
-- Display a final report with "Awesome!" button
display dialog "Conversion complete! " & convertedCount & " files converted." buttons {"Awesome!"} default button 1
