## Printing, exports, Karaoke and imports

### Configuration

NtEd assumes that:

`lpr <file>.ps`

prints a PostScript file named `<file>.ps` on your system. If this isn't the case then configure the printing command. Choose:

Edit → Preferences → Configure Print ...

On dialog textfield you should see:

`lpr %s`

The `%s` will be replaced by the name of a PostScript file. Change this string according to your needs. For instance: If you want to use the kprinter from KDE then change the string to:

`kprinter %s`

and press OK!

If all is configured then choose:

File → Print

### Export PostScript

You can export the score as PostScript. Choose:

File → Export PS...

Select a file name on dialog and press OK.

Because most printers are able to print PostScript files you can print this file using your preferred printing command (lpr, kprinter, ...)

### Export PDF

### Note

The PDF is available only if your Cairo library supports PDF.

You can export the score as PDF. Choose:

File → Export PDF...

Select a file name on dialog and press OK.

Because many printers are able to print PDF files you can print this file using your preferred printing command (lpr, kprinter, ...)

### Export MIDI

You can export the score as MIDI data. Choose:

File → Export MIDI...

Select a file name on dialog and press OK.

### Karaoke

If the score contains lyrics NtEd exports them to MIDI. This causes many midi players among them kmid to show a Karaoke-like behaviour:

### Import MusicXML

You can import a MusicXML file. Choose:

File → Import MusicXML...

Select a file name on dialog and press OK.

### Note

There is a bug in NoteEdit which concerns the export of multivoice staves into MusicXML. As a result NtEd has problems importing such files. To solve the problem NoteEdit must be patched. See http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/staff/jan/nted/noteedit_musml_patch.html for more information.
