Improvement to midi2ly

Re: Making a children's piano music book with LilyPond

2004-12-16 Thread Antti Kaihola

The reason is that our first book was made with Sibelius, and we want to continue with the same visual look. I've understood that it's not possible to easily use other music fonts with LilyPond, so I'm afr
