I would really like to use the midi2ly tool, but I don't know how to do this. I am just getting to grips with the terminal, having used a mac now for over two years. Until I found Lilypond, I'd never felt the need to dip into the terminal.
I have followed the instructions in the readMe:
"Put the lilypond.sh script somewhere in your path, eg.
cp lilypond.sh /usr/local/bin/lilypond " etc...
Also, I have carried out similar instructions to put lilypond-script-wrapper.sh into /usr/local/bin/ , creating symbolic links for midi2ly etc. So that the following is contained in the recommended directory:
$ ls -F /usr/local/bin [EMAIL PROTECTED] lilypond* [EMAIL PROTECTED] dfont2res* [EMAIL PROTECTED] showfond* fondu* lilypond-script-wrapper.sh* tobin* frombin* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ufond*
Still, I'm not sure how to launch midi2ly itself. I have tried typing midi2ly while in the directory /usr/local/bin/ and also in the directory /Applications/Lilypond/Lilypond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ (which I have noticed contains the unix executable file called midi2ly). Always, -bash: midi2ly: command not found is returned.
I run Lilypond 2.7.11-1 on mac os 10.4.2, with macpython 2.3 installed (though it doesn't seem to open). Python version 2.3.5 runs in the terminal. |
