Print Page - Convert iRealPro songs to MMA

If you don't know iRealPro, see https://www.irealpro.com/ .
It is a very nice tool, and there are tens of thousands of iRealPro songs available on the net.

A number of years ago I wrote a data analysis tool for iRealPro songs. I turned it into a converter that could read and write iRealPro songs, make nice sheets, and so on. The last few weeks I've been working on an MMA backend for the converter. It is still a bit rough and may fail horribly on some weird songs, but in general it produces satisfactory results already.

For example, this iRealPro song:

Code:

irealb://Stand By Your Man=Tammy Wynette- Billy Sherrill==Country=A==1r34LbKcu7QyXAl4AXyQ#G/W,#F/Ws ,7EQ|yXE/A|QyX#F/D|,]{*A4Ti*[,#C/WZE7Xy A|QyXA|QyX7EZ-LB #F/-BZL lcKQsW/B,L lcKF/Ws yQKclyX7EZL lcKQyX7ZBL lcKQyXA1NZL Q|E7,XDl||X7#C|#,}|NB*{]QyXAZLD AZ7LEZLE/AZLDZLAl2SAXyQG/W,#2N|}QyQ|D QyX7B|QyX7#F|QXyAl1N|,-BQ,-#Cs|E7XyXD|Qy la .E7XyQLD A|QyX7E|QyX|DQyX7#F|QyX7#C|Z<D.S|QyXA#F/D AXyQ]7EZL D|QyX7#FZ L7#CZL 7EZL AQ[XyQ|A>adoCLZA/E sB-7,E7,|lAXyQZ =Pop-Country=105=1

looks in iRealPro as (see attachment), and the generated MMA is:

Code:

// Title: Stand By Your Man

You still have to manually tweak the grooves so they match the desired style. And fix up the long jumps.

Have fun!

You need Perl (https://www.perl.org) to run the converter. Install CitrusPerl (https://www.citrusperl.org) if you do not have Perl on your system.
If/once you have Perl, install with the cpan tool:

cpan Data::iRealPro
