+for pitches, durations are only written when necessary.
It is possible to record a MIDI file using a digital keyboard, and then
convert it to @file{.ly}. However, human players are not rhythmically
The following options are supported by midi2ly:
@table @code
-@item -b, --no-quantify,
- Write exact durations, e.g.: `a4*385/384'.
-@item -D, --debug,
- Print lots of debugging stuff.
-@item -h, --help,
- Show a summary of usage.
-@item -I, --include=@var{dir},
- Add @var{dir} to search path.
-@item -k, --key=@var{acc}[:@var{minor}],
+@item -a, --absolute-pitches
+ Print absolute pitches
+@item -d, --duration-quant=@var{DUR}
+ Quantise note durations on @var{DUR}
+@item -e, --explicit-durations
+ Print explicit durations
+@item -h,--help
+ Show summary of usage
+@item -k, --key=@var{acc}[:@var{minor}]
Set default key. @var{acc} > 0 sets number of sharps; @var{acc} < 0

-@item -n, --no-silly,
- Assume no plets or double dots, assume smallest (reciprocal) duration 16.
-@item -o, --output=@var{file},
- Set @var{file} as default output.
-@item -p, --no-plets,
- Assume no plets.
-@item -q, --quiet,
- Be quiet.
-@item -s, --smallest=N,
- Assume no shorter (reciprocal) durations than N.
-@item -v, --verbose,
- Be verbose.
-@item -w, --warranty,
- Show the warranty with which midi2ly comes. (It comes with @strong{NO WARRANTY}!)
-@item -x, --no-double-dots,
