Mats- I realize that only notes are listed in the midi file, but since the midi was produced by Finale Print Music, I think the durations will be fine. Also, how would I upgrade easily from 2.6.5 to 2.8.3?Ben   On 5/20/06, Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I recommend to upgrade to the lat

I simply haven't gotten around to upgrading since I downloaded Lilypond, as I'm not quite sure how to upgrade. I'm just working on some small stuff right now, and nothing with very obscure notation. Ben Han-Wen wrote:  yes, but why on earth are people still using lilypond 2.6.x ?--Han-Wen Nienhuys
