Playnote > Command line usage

Playnote optionally takes command-line arguments:

Playnote [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

Commands

• [no command]: Start in graphical mode.
• import PATH...: Import songs or install .pntheme packages from one or more paths.
• help, -h, --help: Show the command-line help.
• version, -V, --version: Show the Playnote version.

Import

If a graphical Playnote instance is already running, the import request is forwarded to it, as if via drag-and-drop. Otherwise, the import is performed on the command line.

Note

You cannot start the game while a command-line import is running. Start the game window first if you want to play while importing.

Playnote import song.rar
Playnote import song-pack.zip library-folder/
Playnote import theme.pntheme

Options

• -v, --verbose: Show informational messages.
• --debug: Show debug messages.

Options may be used with both modes. On Windows, any verbosity will cause a terminal window with the logs to pop up, regardless of settings.
