I managed to enter some notes in \relative mode without problems, is there any specific reason why I should avoid it? Cheers, Lib

I'm aware Lilypond import > support is limited. You need: Command: Paste LilyPond notes Paste LilyPond notes from the text clipboard This will import music written as LilyPond syntax You open the LilyPond file in a texteditor, copy the stretch of notes (control-c command in your texteditor usually) and then use this command. Location: Main Menu ▶ Edit Internal Name: PasteClipboard It will not cope with some syntax but I've made good use of it myself. You can import bits before and after some unsupported syntax if need be. If the music is in \relative mode use Frescobaldi to convert it to absolute pitches (and if not in default language likewise). When pasting just a stretch of notes you may find you want to type in the duration of the first note. Also, the first time you use it - if you have guile 2 - it takes ages to run, after that it is quick. HTH Richard
