Re: convert-ly, musicxml2ly, etc. problems

[Bonnie Rogers]

Just as I thought - you are trying too hard!  I'm not a programmer 
either.  What on earth is all that "import" stuff?  If you have the 
music in a desktop folder and cd to that folder you won't have to bother 
with any of that.  Just type convert-ly and the file name.

Cheers!
