Invoking MusE

MusE is invoked from the command line by typing in: 

 muse

Optionally, you can use command line options of the form: 

 muse <options> <midifile>

<options> : see section xyz? below for details on options. <midifile> can be either a standard MIDI file or a MusE file (*.med, *.med.gz or *.med.bz2).

Command Line Options

MusE accepts some options as listed below:

  • -a start in midi-only mode
  • -d debug mode: no threads
  • -D debug mode: enable some debug messages
  • -m debug mode: trace midi Input
  • -M debug mode: trace midi Output
  • -s debug mode: trace sync
  • -P n set real ime priority to n (default: 50)
