Re: conversion batchfile or commandscript

[Mats Bengtsson]

I just tried http://lilypond.org/mingw/lilypond-tools-2.6.0.zip
and have some comments:

- convert-ly crashes with
Applying conversion: 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.3, 2.5.12, 2.5.13, 
Traceback (most
 recent call last):
  File "convert-ly.py", line 213, in ?
  File "convert-ly.py", line 207, in main
  File "convert-ly.py", line 109, in do_one_file
  File "convertrules.pyc", line 2553, in do_conversion
  File "convertrules.pyc", line 2418, in conv
  File "codecs.pyc", line 673, in getdecoder
LookupError: unknown encoding: ascii

- lilypond-book breaks with
lilypond-book.exe (GNU LilyPond) 2.5.32
lilypond-book.exe: error: `kpsexpand \$TEXMF' failed (0)
lilypond-book.exe: error: The error log is as follows:
'kpsexpand' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

- the included tools are for LilyPond version 2.5.32

- midi2ly is missing

- There are no installation instructions at all. Do you expect an
  average Windows user to know what to do with a ZIP file with
  a number of .exe?


My tests were on a Win XP machine.
