Re: Midi input

[Mats Bengtsson]

In short:
- Open the Cygwin shell
- Move your MIDI file to the cygwin home folder:
  C:\cygwin\home\<yourloginname>\
- Run the command:
  midi2ly myfile.midi

However, read the 4th paragraph at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-midi2ly.html#Invoking-midi2ly
You will probably find it more convenient to write the .ly file
yourself, for example using Jedit as the editor, see
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Editor-support.html
