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

Prints each part's notes with their beats from the start of the song, through the whole of its music once, and makes no sound.
Given `--pass`, it prints that pass of each part, a pass being a section, or the length of the longest loop in music that plays until mx stops.

    mix mx.print song.exs
    mix mx.print song.exs --pass 4

`--cc 74=64`, `--note 60=100`, `--osc /trigger=1,a` and `--get root=40` print the pass as if those inputs had arrived or that value had been set, and each can be given more than once.
A loop started by input prints only what starts it.
Each part's tempo is the tempo it starts at, and the tempo changes in what it prints, with their beats.
A part with effects names them after its tempo, in the order its notes go through them.
