Subject: RE: What is the Digitrad?
Me: Using EasyABC, how can I export the file to midi and MusicXML?

Gemini: That's a great question, and exporting to MIDI and MusicXML is an essential step for using your transcribed melodies in other music software.

Based on the documentation for EasyABC, here is a step-by-step guide on how to export your file to both formats:

### **To Export to MIDI**

EasyABC automatically creates a temporary MIDI file whenever you use the play function. To save it permanently:

1. From the top menu, go to **File**.
2. Select **Export MIDI**.
3. A dialogue box will appear, allowing you to choose a location and a filename to save your MIDI file.

### **To Export to MusicXML**

MusicXML is a standard format for music notation that can be opened by programs like MuseScore and Sibelius.

1. Ensure you have the correct tune displayed in EasyABC. If you have multiple tunes in one file, you may need to select the one you want to export.
2. Go to the File menu.
3. Select **Export Selected** (or "Export All" if you want to export a collection of tunes).
4. Choose **as MusicXML** from the options.
5. Save the file to your desired location.

This process will create files that you can then import into other music notation or digital audio workstation (DAW) software, allowing you to hear the music with different instruments, edit it further, or create a full score.
