Hello everyone,
I've been trying to use lilypond to render midi files which I can then
retune with a program called scala
(http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala/).
The midi file which lilypond gives me seems ok, and is playable by
timidity, but scala chokes on it and gives me an error. I talking

It turns out Scala is right, your midi file is wrong.
There's an unexpected running status inside. So you may
have to report a bug for Lilypond.
It appears that your midi has this as start of the second track:
4d 54 72 6b // = MTrk
00 00 00 40 // =
4d 54 72 6b // = MTrk
00 00 00 40 // = chunk length (64)
00 0f f5 80 43 e8 02 12 08 // = probably fscked up time signature
A midi time signature would look like
00 ff 58 04 04 02 18 08
Well, if you suspect that it might be an old version, how about telling us
which one you use? And if

1000 in decimal.
P.S.: I fixed the two instances of the time signature in your midi file,
and since it is so small attached it.
That did it!!
No more 1000/4 for me ;) Sorry for not suspecting that before, but I
don't know a lot about midi files, and I wasn't aware that they
contained meter information.

I did a crazy-long time sig because I couldn't remember the cadenza
command, and it was just a quick sketch. Maybe that's the problem...
Exactly. A midi file can represent only up to 255 beats per measure.
