score2eps: Converting MUS or PMX data into EPS files

	Below is a PERL script which converts PMX files or MUS files into EPS files. Multiple PMX/MUS files can be given as arguments. This automatic method of converting SCORE data into EPS images is not so great because time delays proportional to the amount of data on the page are required (or always use a long delay before starting to print so that music can be drawn on the screen). ~~See~~ the ~~mus2eps script further below~~ and ~~the discussion~~ on ~~batch processing within SCORE for more robust automatic conversion methods into EPS files~~.		Below is a PERL script which converts PMX files or MUS files into EPS files. Multiple PMX/MUS files can be given as arguments. This automatic method of converting SCORE data into EPS images is not so great because time delays proportional to the amount of data on the page are required (or always use a long delay before starting to print so that music can be drawn on the screen). A more generalized version of the program which solves this problem and also converts [[ScoreXML]] files to EPS can be found on [[score2eps\|this page]].

	The <tt>score2eps</tt> script has two options. The <tt>-d</tt> option can be used to debug. If there is a problem converting a file, you can run the debug mode to watch the various automated steps to see where the problem might be occurring in the process. The <tt>-w</tt> option can be used to process all files in a directory which is not the one which you are running the program from (but the directory must be accessible to dosemu).

			In some configurations of dosemu (1.4.0.0 and earlier) and version of linux (about 3.0.0 and later), you will get this message caused by the operating system preventing access of dosemu to lower addresses in memory (to minimize security risks to the operating system):

			EXPERIMENTAL: using non-zero memory base address 0x110000.
			You can use the better-tested zero based setup using
			sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0

			/etc/sysctl.conf or a file in /etc/sysctl.d/ to 0.

			Installing dosemu 1.4.0.1 or higher will prevent this warning message from being printed. Or you can allow dosemu to access low-addressed memory. For example, on Ubuntu computers in the file <tt>/etc/sysctl.d/10-zeropage.conf</tt>, change the line:
			vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536
			to
			vm.mmap_min_addr = 0
