## API usage:
Call converter21.register() to get music21 to use converter21's alternate Humdrum and MEI converters in your own code.

## Example corpus shell script

Here's an exmaple shell script for showing how to use this resource to convert all files in one directory (repalce `<directory_name>` with your real directory name) from one format (here `.mxl`) to another (here `.krn`).
```
#!/bin/bash
for f in <directory_name>/*.mxl; do
echo "Converting $f → ${f%.mxl}.krn"
python3 -m converter21 -f musicxml -t humdrum "$f" "${f%.mxl}.krn"
done
```
