Re: Convert from Personal Composer to Lilypond?

[Joshua Stutter]

If I remember correctly, and backed up by 
https://web.archive.org/web/20131206102455/http://pcomposer.com/features.html 
, Personal Composer could import MusicXML, MIDI and NIFF but only export 
MIDI and NIFF. Your best bet therefore is to use midi2ly as a starting 
point for input.
