Hi, Is it possible to convince midi2ly to output pitch names in, say \language "deutsch" ? I prefer using "b" to "bes". Also, is it possible to get the output in something like \fixed c' ? Those problems are not something that I couldn't solve by either manually editing the scores or

David, many thanks for showing a working example. Dissecting... lilypond-book: error: file not found: 23.10.63.ly This is embarassing: it was just an oversight of mine, as the file name is 23-10-63.ly. Sorry. The other problem was related to the lilypond executable: 1. lilypond.org
