Re: blanks in file names and convert-ly or midi2ly

[Luc]

All these tricks with escaping, (double-) quoting and others unfortunately 
do not work.

I have implement a small program (in Notepad++) which just copies the 
ly-file to a file with a name python can handle, invokes convert-ly and 
copies it back... but I'm not sure this is the "correct" place to do it.
