SVG is useful when a Band-in-a-Box song needs to appear as crisp notation in a web page or document, or be scaled without pixelation. Converting an SGU file can make its musical content easier to view in software that does not open Band-in-a-Box files.
What the SGU format is
SGU is a Band-in-a-Box song file used to store a chord progression and arrangement information such as style, tempo, and song form. SGU files are commonly created or edited in Band-in-a-Box; unlike the related MGU format, SGU generally has no melody track. The file describes a song arrangement rather than a finished page of printed notation.
What the SVG format is
SVG is a vector graphics format. A score exported as SVG stays sharp when enlarged and can be placed in web pages, documents, or graphics software. It represents the visible notation, not a Band-in-a-Box arrangement that can be edited as a musical score.
Online conversion with 101convert.com
- Open the SGU-to-SVG converter on 101convert.com and upload the SGU file. The page displays the per-file size limit.
- Start the conversion. The conversion runs on the site's server with MuseScore; several files can be converted in one batch.
- Download the resulting SVG file or files.
Offline conversion with MuseScore
MuseScore is free and open-source, and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the SGU file in MuseScore, then use File → Export and select SVG as the output format. If the file does not appear in the open dialog, select the appropriate file type or enter its filename. Review the imported score before exporting, since SGU stores arrangement data rather than a fully engraved score.
Quality and compatibility
SVG preserves the appearance of the notation at different sizes, but it does not preserve the SGU's chord progression as editable musical data, accompaniment style, or playback behavior. For further score editing, keep the original SGU file and use a notation format supported by your score editor.
