As in my previous answer, I urge you to always specify clearly what operating system you use and what LilyPond version you have installed. From your last line, I guess you use Windows (which actually is a minority on this mailing list).

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to call the scripts? I know that there is stuff in the documentation about doing so, but a physical example would be better (such as how to basically get it to open a file and generate an output file with the changes). I would in particular like to know how to operate 'midi2ly' and 'convert-ly'.
As Stefaan said, it's just to go to the corresponding sections of the manual. Just two details that are maybe not obvious for a first time user with Windows background:
- The working directory when you start your Cygwin command window is C:\cygwin\home\<your login name>\, so this is the directory you should copy the files to before you run the commands. - The normal way to call convert-ly is convert-ly -e myfile.ly which will update the file myfile.ly and make a backup of the original version in myfile.ly~

Also, how is it decided which versions are ported to Windows?
