Even when I just try running the program without a midi after it
Windows doesn't
know what it is.
First of all, the PATH setting that was mentioned in a previous email
should automatically be done by the LilyPond installation program, but
you may have to log out and then log in again after the installation
for it to work.
Secondly, you should just specify the command name, not any full path.
For example, if you just type the command
midi2ly
you should get a printout like:
Usage: midi2ly [OPTION]... FILE
Convert MIDI to LilyPond input.
....
Last time I tried, it did not work. See
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=834
I just tried it right now with LilyPond version 2.13.8 and midi2ly
certainly works on a small MIDI file that previously was generated by
LilyPond, so the above mentioned problem does not happen for all MIDI
files, so if you are lucky it will work with your MIDI file. However,
don't expect too much from midi2ly since it has several limitations.
Especially, if often results in weird note durations, since it
interprets the MIDI file too literally.
