'[#[Installation]
1. Run this command to build the executables
'[c]$ make full'[/c]

'[#[Workflow]
'[t[b2]Writing an MML file'[/t]
Use your favorite text editor to write an .mml file. Notepad++ or Sublime Text are good options for beginners. Save the file to the '[c]songs/'[/c] directory.

'[t[b2]Converting the MML'[/t]
HuSIC outputs files in the '[l[https://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/hes%20(format)[.hes] music format, and the '[l[https://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/.pce+(file)/[.pce] PC Engine ROM image format. The .pce format can be played both on emulators and on real consoles.

'[t[b1]Making a .hes file'[/t]
1. Place your .mml file in the songs folder

2. In a terminal, run the make_hes command with your mml file as the argument
'[c]$ sh make_hes.sh yoursong'[/c]

'[t[b1]Making a .pce file'[/t]
1. Place your .mml file in the songs folder

2. In a terminal, run the make_pce command with your mml file as the argument
'[c]$ sh make_pce.sh yoursong'[/c]

'[t[0]note: for both formats, in the docs it says don't include the .mml extension in the filename but in my experience it doesn't make a difference'[/t]

'[t[b2]Playback'[/t]
See: https://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/hes%20(format)#File%20Formats%20&%20Playback

You can use this convenience script to compile the .mml file into .hes, and play the .hes file in Mednafen in one shot.
'[c]#!/bin/bash

compiler_output=$(sh make_hes.sh $1)
echo -e "$compiler_output"
if echo $compiler_output | grep -q "failed" ; then
	echo "HES COMPILATION ERROR"
	exit 1
fi

mednafen $(basename $1 .mml).hes
'[/c]

Copy that script to a file called "mhes" and then you can use it via '[c]$ bash mhes yoursong'[/c]
