Hello,
I was able to open your summertime.mid file with 4 different apps:
iTunes, Quicktime Player, Sibelius 5, Band-in-a-Box (all on MacOSx
10.5). Also, all of the many .mid files that play from the web
(https://www.cs.hmc.edu/~keller/jazz/improvisor/Solos/) were generated
through the same mechanism in Impro-Visor.
I tried to run Lilypond on my platform but was not successful. While
it says "open a menu", there was no menu available. It just constantly
displayed a text file, and was otherwise unresponsive.
Perhaps the .mid problems are with Lilypond rather than Impro-Visor.
Thanks for your reply.
The problem is not opening the midi file, but displaying the score
(notes) exactly the same in Lilypond.
People say, converting from musicXML to Lilypond is more easy then
converting midi, but Impro-visor doesn't have musicXML support right? Is
it possible to add that?
About Lilypond. I've only experience with it on Linux, but many people
use it on Mac too.
Lilypond is text based, so it doesn't have an GUI, all though there are
GUI's like Musescore or Rosegarden for example. So Lilypond can't open
midi files, but the software contains an little script tool midi2lily,
which is able to convert midi to Lilypond score.
To make working with Lilypond more easy, there is Lilypondtool:
http://lilypondtool.organum.hu/
Note there is an very nice documentation about Lilypond on the website.
Maybe it's good to subscribe to the Lilypond user mailing list, it's a
great way to learn about the great possibilities of Lilypond and for
support too.

Would be great to have Lilypond export function in Impro-visor, or at
least MusicXML!
Kind regards,
