Jukebox possible ?
Hi,
Just downloaded all the Beethoven sonates (in mscz format): great work !
Now I wonder if there is a way to play them all one after the other in 'batch mode' (some kind of jukebox) without having to open every file individually.
thanks

I think your best bet would be to save them as MIDI or audio files and then use an appropriate program to play them back.
I wonder why you want to listen to MuseScore playing the MSCZ files one after the others when you can listen to performances of these same pieces by great human pianists anywhere online. For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qctSDdNmEUY
I'm curious about your use case.
Do you have any particular use case for wanting to play them all in batch mode? Just for listening purposes?

Indeed, the 'real' stuff is much better,
but nevertheless there is a wealth of musicfiles which can readily be opened my Musescore without having to convert them
(mscz, mscx, msc, xml, mid, ...).
If I have to load each file manually (I have > 1000 of them), it will occupy me days and days just to listen & screen them.
Much more fun I could play them in a 'jukebox' manner while doing the washing-up ...

Having another command line option for 'start playback' might help here?

I still don't see the point. If it's about listening Musescore composition played back by a computer without seeing the score, you can export them to MIDI and load them in a MIDI player. It will have all the jukebox features, playlist, random etc...

I forgot to mention: I play the sax, my son the piano.
So we're always looking for new music to play.
Automatic playback of a bunch of files in different formats would allow us to sort out easily what we would ljke to play and what not.
After that we could print our favourite scores and studie the pieces.
A few years later and there is now a plugin available!
