Limited MusicXML to MusixTeX converter
This converter is primary used to transfer songs of Falešné společenstvo from Mozart music processor to MusixTeX typesetting notation via small subset of MusicXML 3.0 format.
Written in PHP, sorry. But you can try online version. PHP 8 is not suported.
You also need small header.tex file for some auxiliary and compatibility stuff.

Known limitations:
- only beams non-overlapping within one staff are supported
- bar lines & voltas are synchronized over all staves (and taken from first staff)
- number of staves can't be changed
- fermatas and tuplets have fixed height
- automatic orientation of stems, beams, slurs and ties
- guitar chords are in Czech (=German) notation: B -> H, Bb -> B
- augmented, diminished and half diminished seventh is not supported in chords
- wrong vertical alignment with tuplets in multiple staves
As MusicXML is pretty complex format there definitely are plenty of unknown limitations. Moreover, conversion is tested only with XML exported from Mozart version 12.
