Problems with midi2ly

[mark damerell]

Please:

1. Where is the manual? The man page says it is a texinfo document, but

I cannot find it.

2. Trying to convert a  Midi  file, nearly all notes have weird durations. I

assume that I should add a  -d  or  -s  but the manpage gives no hint of

the units of  duratioon .

3. Lyrics get mangled. To see this, go to

manuals > learning > 3.4.2 Four part SATB

and extract the Handel example. Add 

\layout {}

\midi {}

just above the very last  }   which terminates the  \score.

Save, say as  handel.ly   . Run  lilypond  on this. The   pdf  looks exactly as it

says in the manual. But run  midi2ly  on the  midi  file. This gives  handel-midi.ly

Now run  lilypond  on that file and 3 lines of lyrics have disappeared. With more

complicated lyrics, you get error messages about simultaneous lyrics.

Please any advice? thank you.
