Re: midi lyric events

[Mats Bengtsson]

You could try input/template/melody-lyrics.ly
It turns out that the lyrics indeed is included in the file
even though it's not found by the strings command (since the syllables
are not ended by a \000 in the MIDI format).

>strings  melody-lyrics.midi

However, if you for example use the mf2t program
(available at http://archive.cs.uu.nl/pub/MIDI/PROGRAMS/ or
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/mf2t/) you will see the
lyrics:

>mf2t melody-lyrics.midi | tail

1152 Meta Lyric "Dee"
