Re: midi lyrics; lyric retention

[Mark Dewey]

I use Lilypond 2.6.5 for Windows (the non-Cygwin 
version).  I'm using Windows 2000.
The lyrics don't show up when I edit the midis in Anvil 
Studio, or when I view them
with Noteworthy Player, or vanBasco's Karaoke Player. 
I don't recall this working in
version 2.4.6 for Cygwin either.  Those are the only 
versions I've tried with this, however.

Also, the tempo I enter for the midis doesn't seem to 
have any effect on them
(with these two versions); I usually just change it in 
Anvil Studio if I need to.
I don't know of a way to effectively change the lyrics 
outside of Lilypond, though.

Thanks!
