In short: - Open the Cygwin shell - Move your MIDI file to the cygwin home folder: C:\cygwin\home\<yourloginname>\ - Run the command: midi2ly myfile.midi
However, read the 4th paragraph at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-midi2ly.html#Invoking-midi2ly You will probably find it more convenient to write the .ly file yourself, for example using Jedit as the editor, see http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Editor-support.html

I am trying to convert a midi file into a printable score using Lilypond 2.4 in Windows XP.
Do I have to use the Cygwyn Bash Shell or is it possible to write a .ly routine in my text editor? Whichever, I would be grateful if you could show me an example as clarification. I have tried invoking midi2ly in the Cygwin Bash Shell but keep getting error messages.
