1 Use musescore software
2 mscz is a zip file .
so u can unzip it with python and decode the mscx file and synth it with some kind of sinth program or convert it to midi file

Thank you for your replying.
I can unzip mscz file to [xml, mscx, png], but I can't understand how to convert mscx to mid file yet.
does any library to convert mscx file exist ?

mscx is a very complicate music data format.you could try music21(python) or other way like write some code yourself.

Simply open the mscz file in MuseScore (the free program from musescore.org, much different than musescore.com), and go to File > Export, and choose your desired file type

Hi @PeterNjeim! Do you know if there is a command line program to convert mscx to midi?
I want to convert 100 of these to midi and doing it though the GUI would be too slow.

https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/command-line-options. Use the -o (or --export-to) option. You can create a script that finds all files in a folder and then converts them to midi using the musescore command line tool.

Example:

PS C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin> .\MuseScore3.exe --export-to "$env:userprofile\Documents\MuseScore3\Scores\output.midi" "$env:userprofile\Documents\MuseScore3\Scores\input.mscz"

(in Windows PowerShell, syntax differs between OS's and shells).
