Re: a curious midi problem, or not ?

[B~M]

thanks David, my machine is a MacBook pro laptop running lilypond version 2.18.2

Recently I installed Garage Band which perhaps was not a good idea. It defaulted to be the app 

that opened midi files, Ive since deleted it 

I ran lilypond again today and generated the midi/mid. It seems fine now (the midi) but my conversion 

software might be the problem as I ultimately want an mp3 file

Not entirely sure what has happened, my apologies.

I downloaded your attachment and ran 2.18.2 on it. The midi file
is attached and is ~6 seconds long. Debian linux-64 downloaded from
the LP website.

Which platform? Perhaps you could attach your midi (it's a quarter of
the size of the LP source).

Cheers,
David.
