LilyPond Application Usage: 4.3.4 Invoking etf2ly

### 4.3.4 Invoking `etf2ly`

Note: This is not currently supported and may eventually be removed from future versions of LilyPond.

ETF (Enigma Transport Format) is a format used by Coda Music Technology’s Finale product. `etf2ly` will convert part of an ETF file to a ready-to-use LilyPond file.

It is invoked from the command-line as follows;

>     etf2ly [option]… etf-file

Note that by ‘command-line’, we mean the command line of the operating system. See Converting from other formats, for more information about this.

The following options are supported by `etf2ly`:

`-h, --help`

`-o, --output=FILE`

  set output filename to FILE

`--version`
