Subject: lilypond code errors

Hi, I used a notation program to enter the piece I wanted to add to the database, then had it exported as a MIDI file, then I used midi2ly.py on my Windows machine to convert it to .ly. Then I rendered .ly to make sure I got a working PDF out of it, then I tried to paste it into the page on this site where I can add new music by pasting in lilypond code. I got a whole bunch of errors, which I can paste here, if it helps.

Code I pasted in

CODE:

% Lily was here -- automatically converted by C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py from C:\temp\TheShowMustGoOn.mid
\version "2.7.18"

trackAchannelA = {

\time 4/4

\key b \minor
\skip 2.
\tempo 4 = 100

}

trackA = <<
\context Voice = channelA \trackAchannelA
>>

trackBchannelA = \relative c {
s2.

Could someone tell me what's wrong with this code, please?

How to insert music:

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

How to post an audio recording:

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

Record your audio here.
You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

How to mark a thread as solved:

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
