This is a python3 app, that can be installed with pip:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

usage:

GUI:

In a terminal, run

flowkey-dl

Go to flowkey.com, select a song or lesson and right click on the sheet track at the bottom of the page. Select "Copy image adress" and paste this url (e.g. https://flowkeycdn.com/sheets/XXXX/150/0.png) into the url filed of the app. Click on "load" and the sheet is downloaded and aranged. If you enter title and author, it gets added to the sheet. Optionally adjust layout, scale and font size and select measures (e.g. 1,3,5-10 would select only measures 1, 3 and 5 to 10). Click save to save the sheet as pdf.

If the font size does not change, you probably do not have the fonts installed. Try installing either FreeMono or arial as ttf.

CLI:

To start the command line interface run

flowkey-dl-cli <URL> [<PDF-Output-Path>] [-t <title>] [-a <artist>]

This will download the sheet music for the provided flowkey url and export it in pdf format.

The base url refers to the url from flowkey as described above (e.g. https://flowkeycdn.com/sheets/XXXX/<...>) and is required.
