Re: can't find file: `init.midi'

I suspected that would be the answer. In that case this is a bug report WRT documentation.

...
$> man lilypond
NAME
       LilyPond - manual page for LilyPond 1.6.7

SYNOPSIS
       lilypond [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION
       Typeset music and or play MIDI from FILE
...

Having read the online documentation I wasn't under the impression that lilypond would play midi until I saw the above bit on the man page. And the man page is pretty well unambiguous about playing midi.

What did you expect LilyPond to do? LilyPond is a program that
is very good at typesetting music but knows nothing about how to
play MIDI files. Note that LilyPond is one of these programs where
you have to read the tutorial to be able to do anything useful at
all.
