Comment #4 on issue 834 by v.villenave: midi2ly broken on Windows systems
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=834

Jan, here's an example of a file that I failed to convert using Windows for  
my video
tutorials: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RAMEAU_Tambourin.mid


C:\Documents and Settings\lilydev\Bureau>midi2ly RAMEAU_Tambourin.mid
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 991, in ?
    main()
  File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 989, in main
    convert_midi (f, o)
  File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 823, in  
convert_midi

    for (dur, num, den) in global_options.allowed_tuplets:
SystemError:  
/main/src/gub/target/mingw/src/python-2.4.5/Objects/listobject.c:25
5: bad argument to internal function


(The error message looked very similar when trying other midi files.)


Fortunately, since I actually record these screencasts in a virtual  
machine, I 'd
discretely open a GNU/Linux terminal on top of the Windows machine and get  
the job
done :-)

PS - We may not have a bounty system but we do have a "Bounty" tag to keep  
track of
this stuff.
As far as I know, some Bounty-enriched features have been addressed and  
paid for in
the past years.  I personally sponsored Rune's new accidentals styles, and  
there was
at least another case where one of Lily's core-devs made me give the money  
to a
charity instead :)
