is etf2ly of any use, really?

[Eduardo Vieira]

Hello friends,

 

I was testing the capabilities of conversion between ETF and LY. Granted, I didn't expect any astounding result, for even the documentation mentions that it has limited effectiveness, but I was surprised with the deplorable result.:(

So much so, that I can't see the reason to have such script. Check it yourselves.

The file is a well known hymn: Abide with me (Tune: Eventide).

I'm sorry I don't have the midi right now, but in a site like Cyber Hymnal you could find it. I also don't have Finale myself. But I used another program (Harmony Assistant) to open it and it was fine.
