New issue 3667 by [email protected]: syntax error in `midi2ly
--preview' output
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3667
[release/2.17.30-1-1-gcb421d6]
Trying this input file
http://www2.cpdl.org/wiki/images/a/a0/Perotin_Viderunt_Omnes_Sib5.mid
with
midi2ly --preview Perotin_Viderunt_Omnes_Sib5.mid
gives this error:
Perotin_Viderunt_Omnes_Sib5-midi.ly:41:11:
error: syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting UNSIGNED or FRACTION
\skip 4*
-9
Without `--preview', the file can be parsed correctly.
However, the (admittedly crazy) output of midi2ly then takes an incredible
time if processed with lilypond. Lilypond tries to fit everything on 17 or
18 pages, with zillions of warnings; it took almost 40 minutes to reach
this point on my old laptop – far, far longer than a big orchestral piece
with more than 100 pages, BTW. After the following `Drawing Systems'
message, the needed amount of memory suddenly increases extremely, and
lilypond eventually aborts with
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
My 3GB of main memory isn't sufficient, apparently. I'm not sure whether
this qualifies as a bug or even a problem, but IMHO a piece with four
voices and just a few words of lyrics shouldn't behave like that...
