Re: midi2ly

[Knute Snortum]

I'm wondering if this could be a PATH issue. Can you type

lilypond --version

and get a meaningful response? If not, you may have to put the LilyPond bin directory on your PATH. Or use the full pathname midi2ly.

Hi, thank you. I tried that, and no, that also comes up as 'not recognized.'

I don't see a separate installer for midi2ly, so how can I install it?

Hi, I'm trying to convert a midi file to a Lilypond string. >From the

website

(https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/usage/invoking-midi2ly)

I understand I'm supposed to use the following in cmd:

midi2ly [option]… midi-file

but I get "not recognized." I can successfully use Lilypond from

cmd. I don't see a separate installer for midi2ly and see no

documentation indicating how to get passed this issue.

Any help you can provide is much appreciated.

You can try:

midi2ly --version

to see if midi2ly has been installed correctly. If it is, possibly

midi2ly cannot handle your midi file.

Greetings,

Janneke
