Midi to lilypond conversion.

2008-11-22 Thread David Picón Álvarez
Hi, I have been trying to convert some midi files which I previously quantized on the sequencer. This sequencer uses 192 ticks per part, which tends to give results like this: d''4*95/192 s4*1/192 a'4*95/192 s4*1/192 a4*95/192 s4*1/192 g4*95/192 s4*1/192 f4*95/192 s4*1/192 e4*95/192

2008-11-22 Thread Jan van Dijk
Hi, I use chant a lot in the music. Until this day I have always put chant on a brevis (see the example below). But the use of the brevis is sometimes very confusing for the singers. So I have tried to put the chant on a percent-repeat. But it seems that percent-repeats and lyrics do not combine.
