Extract chord charts from MusicXML files

I archived this GitHub repo as I have moved it to GitLab.

Proposed usage

Create score in Musescore
Export to MusicXML file with musescore -o Song_name.xml Song_Name.mscz
Create Chordpro file with python xml2pro.py Song_name.xml > Song_name.pro
Transfer Chordpro file to tablet, where Songbook can read it.
Alternatively, use Chordii to create Postscript file for printing chordii Song_name.pro > Song_name.ps

Does not know where to break a line. Sometimes, a line break every 4 bars is OK, sometimes it would be better every 2 bars.
Poor line breaks for pickup bars. The line break algorithm always puts in a line break at the start of a bar. However, for pickups, it would be better to break the line on the up-beat, so that the lyrical phrase is printed as a single line.
Does not handle multiple lines of lyrics well. If there are multiple verses, each on a separate lyric line, and a single chorus line, it makes a bit of a hash.
Does not handle repeats, first- and second-time endings, codas, and other form markings.
