Guide: How to flatten team folders in BMS events

[wcko87]

In BMS of Fighters (BOF) events, the event packs are usually organized by team, in this format:

BOFXVI
'-> Team1
    '-> songA
    '-> songB
    '-> songC
'-> Team2
    '-> songD
    '-> songE
    '-> songF
'-> Team3
    '-> songG
    '-> songH

Some people (like me) prefer seeing a flat list of songs after opening the BOFXVI folder in game, instead of having to select BOFXVI -> Team -> Song (mainly because I often don't know which team a song comes from).

Something like this:

BOFXVI
'-> songA
'-> songB
'-> songC
'-> songD
'-> songE
'-> songF
'-> songG
'-> songH

With a Python script:

If you are comfortable with Python, I have written a simple Python script which I use to flatten team folders. It also checks for potential errors before execution.
