Re: how to not specify midi instrument?

[Tom Sgouros]

Hello all:

The Frescobaldi people pointed their fingers back at Lilypond, of course. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to convert a Midi file into human-readable events so I can show them there is no Program Change event in the file? All the Midi programs I know about are altogether too user-friendly for that kind of detail.

Thank you,

Thank you, I understand. This is a Frescobaldi question not a Lilypond question. I’ll go ask there.
