Am I just not entering it right or does it not work for Windows? I open
the dos
prompt and type "...\midi2ly pi-type1.mid" and get the error:
"'midi2ly' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file."
Even when I just try running the program without a midi after it Windows
doesn't
know what it is.
there are 2 things to specify:
- the path in which the system has to look for midi2ly.py, typically
c:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\
you can check this with "set path" in the command shell.
- a program that is supposed to run programs with a specific extension -
here it is ".py"; check this with "set pathext" as above
if .py is not included in this variable, you can add it in the "standard
program definitions" (or similar)
[note that the command "set path" will display both these variables]
