Band-in-a-Box stores songs as MGU files, but a PNG is easier to share, place in a document, or print as a fixed score image. Converting it renders the available notation as a picture rather than an editable music file.
What the MGU format is
MGU is a Band-in-a-Box song format used by PG Music’s accompaniment software. It can store chord changes, song settings, a style, and melody data; the style can be used to generate accompaniment. You encounter MGU files when opening or sharing songs made in Band-in-a-Box.
What the PNG format is
PNG is a lossless raster image format. It suits sharing or printing notation because it preserves sharp edges and supports transparent backgrounds, but it is not a musical score format: notes and layout cannot be edited as music after conversion.
How to convert MGU to PNG
Online on 101convert.com
- Open the MGU-to-PNG converter on 101convert.com and upload the file. The page shows the per-file size limit; multiple files can be added as a batch.
- Set the resolution before converting, then start the conversion. It runs on the site’s server with MuseScore.
- Download the resulting PNG file or files.
Offline with desktop software
For a local workflow, use Band-in-a-Box to export the song’s notation as MusicXML, then use MuseScore to render it:
- Open the MGU in Band-in-a-Box and export its notation to MusicXML. The export command and label can vary by version.
- Open the MusicXML file in MuseScore, check the score layout, then choose File → Export and select PNG.
Band-in-a-Box is commercial software for Windows and macOS. MuseScore is free and open-source and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. MuseScore does not provide a dependable direct-import route for MGU files, so use Band-in-a-Box to export the intermediate MusicXML file.
Quality and limitations
The PNG records the notation rendered during export, not the editable chord, style, and song data in the MGU. Generated accompaniment may not be represented as a complete notated score; check the resulting pages before sharing or printing. Higher resolution produces a larger image with finer notation detail, but does not add musical information.
