Hi!
I am searching how to convert *.mid to ly. (mainly from tobis-
notenarchiv.de
I wrote already about, but I dont still have a working solution.
It seems to me that mid and midi very different file-formats are.
See in PS.
With
midi2ly file.midi (from mutopia)
... works fine
but not with midi2ly file.mid. (from tobis-notenarch...)
I get then a not usable file.ly
(I got these 2 files of the same choral from bach in mid and midi
for test)
I tried/searched till now:
- First way: convert mid2midi then midi2ly (look for differences in
PS)
I found a script mid2midi*, but unfortunately it is a matlab
script, so I cant
use it. Matlab doesnt seems to have much contact with private
persons...
- Second way:
open file.mid with noteedit then export as lilypond and purify the .ly
file!!!... Very heavy. Not practicable for the many files I have to
handle.
But if there is no other solution...
- Third and best way, but how?
mid2ly
I found an advice in sourceforge.jp** that there was either a
mid2ly and a
midi2ly. Is that true? How to convert from mid? Unfortunately, I cant
understand Japanese...
- ThirdA: it would be helpful, of course, to have a cap2ly, but it
seems to be
a difficult topic ;-) or is it not?
Of course, I want to convert pieces that do only in this .mid
format exist.
For BWV734, I dont need that anymore ;-)
That it for now. I hope my english is human readable ;-)
Thanks
Francois
still using 2.10.25

Francois-
Your English is infinitely more readable than would be my French.
I would like to ask whether you have tried replacing the ".mid"
extension
with ".midi" when using midi2ly. I just tried it with a Bach lute
prelude from
the tobis site. While I don't use midi2ly very often, the results
seem o.k.
