Re: question regarding midi2ly

[Aurèle Duda]

What do you really want to do : converting a midi file to a lilypond
file or output a midi file when processing a lilypond file ?

If you want to convert a midi file to lilypond file, the best way is to
open a shell an look at 'man midi2ly' or 'midi2ly --help' to display the
usage of the tool. the simpliest usage is : "midi2ly foo.midi" (wrote in
a shell session, not into a .ly file)

If you want to output a midi file when processing a lilypond file, you
need to read the section about midi in the manual :
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/lilypond/Creating-MIDI-files.html#Creating-MIDI-files
