Two possibilities strike me, not being a Windows user: 1) The first line of midi2ly is a shebang, ie #!/usr/bin/python3 which is the recommended way to run Python 3 scripts. Even where "python" alone now invokes python3 rather than python2, python3 should still be defined. 2) The third line of midi2ly gives the script's name as # midi2ly.py -- LilyPond midi import script The .py suffix should allow OSes like Windows to invoke the appropriate interpreter. For help with this, perhaps look at this post and this thread (both for convert-ly): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-01/msg00140.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-05/msg00301.html Cheers, David.
