Hi all! Thanks for your suggestions! Could you please give mee an example of how to create a lilypond file from a midi file? I've read the page Federico suggested but it's a bit complicated for mee. So, if I'm right, I would write, for example: midi2ly thenb the name of my midi file. But I don't understand in what directory have I to be for this operation!
midi2ly should be in a directory that is listed in your system's PATH environment variable. Then it will always be found wherever you are. (I am not a Windows user. Does the LilyPond installer for Windows take care of this automatically?)
your source file can be anywhere if you call it with a complete pathname, but easiest is when it is in your current directory where you can call it with just the filename. Even without ".ly" it will work.
you can provide an output name with the -o optionIf you don't use the -o option, midi2ly will automatically generate a destination filename from the source file.
BTW: the most important commandline option to start with is probably -h. Try midi2ly -h -- MT
