midi2ly key and rests

[Helge Kruse]

Hello,

 

#include „German.ly“ ;-)

 

I have a MIDI file, that with all patches one semitone too high. It sounds in Cis . I have converted it with midi2ly to Lilypond format and transposed each voice with \transpose to C so I can play it much better. But this gives Ces instead of H and Fes instead of E.

 

I gave the switch --key at midi2ly, but this changed the output of midi2ly in any way. Also –output has no effect to midi2ly.

 

Another annoying thing is that all rests are silent rests. This makes it difficult to read & play the music.

 

What is the best way to get the preferred pitch and readable rests?

 

 

Regards,

Helge
