NOTICE: Project moved to Stepmania Data Tools

Usage:

• Place the output files into the input folder and run the script. The default input folder is writeIn.
• Successfully converted files will be generated in the output folder. The default output folder is writeOut.
• If different folders are used, specify them by appending --input inputfolder and/or --output outputfolder. Example: python smfile_writer.py --input inputfolder --output outputfolder

If either arguments are not specified, the scripts uses the default folder where none is specified.
