# `mix mx.import`
[🔗](https://github.com/mx-music/mx/blob/main/lib/mix/tasks/mx.import.ex#L1)

Reads a MusicXML score and writes it as a song beside it, one part per part of the score, that plays the whole score once.

    mix mx.import score.mxl --tempo 100 --part "Soprano=oboe" --part "Bass=cello"

`--part` names the synth a part plays on, and a part without one plays on tri.
`--tempo` sets the tempo, which otherwise comes from the score's first metronome mark.
`--out` names another path for the song, and `--force` writes over a song that exists.
