Re: Converting musicxml files

[Mike Dean]

Am not sure how long Lilypond is to be running before expecting output (error messages or otherwise), but am hoping that it is not hanging...

Hi Martin:

I am not sure if I was doing the steps correctly (was working with Frescobaldi 3.01 and LP 2.19.42; have since updated to 2.19.80)

Am trying the steps again; in 2.19.42 I got no output

1. Menu File > Import MusicXML
2. Select a MusicXML file
3. Execute musicxml2ly

Expect: The import dialog disappears and a new code window with the generated ly file should open
Actual: The import dialog disappears but nothing else

In 2.19.80 LP is running (and says it can take some time...), so will post another after the process completes ....

Observation:Frescobaldi 3.0 is not playing nicely at all with musicxml file export

II'm looking to do the import directly from lilypond, but am not sure how to go about it...
the musicxml files (uncompressed and compressed) are attached

Frescobaldi calls musicxml2ly to do the conversion. musicxml2ly is a python script that is part of the LilyPond distribution.

I tried your musicxml file and it seems to convert to lilypond files fine on my system. Could you be more specific than just "not playing nice at all"?
