If you have multiple MUSIC 6 SQZ files that need conversion to MEF files, you can use the provided PowerShell script for bulk export. The script, “BulkExportMusicSqzModelsToMef.ps1 ,” allows you to export all SQZ files within a specified directory using either the MUSIC SL or HL version of the software.

Please note that MUSIC 6 can only run correctly in -light mode if the user interface is not already open. Therefore, ensure that you close the application before running it in -light mode.

 

To start the Bulk Export Process, please follow the steps below:

  • Open the Start menu, type “Windows PowerShell”, select Windows PowerShell, then select “Open”

  • You will be prompted with: “Please specify which version of Music 6.4 you would like to use (HL/SL):” Type “SL” or “HL” based on your license type and press Enter.

  • Next, it will ask “Please enter the full path to the folder containing SQZ projects to export:” Enter the path to the folder containing the SQZ files and press Enter.

  • The script will then generate the corresponding MEF files for all the MUSIC 6 projects in the folder containing the SQZ files.

  • Once the conversion is complete, it will return to the script folder location as shown below:

  • You can now close your Windows PowerShell.
