💅 LILYMIDI(1) 💅

okay so bestie, listen — this is the manual page for lilymidi (version 2.26.0, in case you were wondering 👑), a lil User Command that lives in your terminal and does MIDI things. she's iconic, she's lowkey, she's literally right there in your $PATH. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lilymidi — bestie, it's the manual page for lilymidi 2.26.0. that's the whole name section. short king energy 💜

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lilymidi [options] FILE

so yeah, you give her [options] (the fancy flags, more on those below 🌸) and a FILE, and she goes to work. main character behaviour fr fr.

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • --version — she'll show you her program's version number and then dip, i.e. exit. that's it. that's the whole vibe 💅
  • -h, --help — the classic. show this help message and exit. whenever you're lost, just hit her with the -h and she'll hand you the whole cheat sheet 🫶
  • --filter-tracks=REGEXP — ok so this one's a little filter queen ✨ she displays only track numbers, and specifically of those track names that match REGEXP. so you're regex-matching the track names and getting track numbers back. no cap, that's the deal.
  • --prefix-tracks=PREFIX — and this one's her bestie 💖 it prefixes those filtered track numbers with PREFIX. so like, you filtered them, now you're decorating them. gorgeous.
  • --dump — just dump the parsed contents of the MIDI file. no commentary, no notes, just the raw parsed contents, right there on your screen. let her cook 🍓
  • --pretty — same dump energy, but make it humanreadable 💀✨ she dumps the parsed contents of the MIDI file in a form that's actually nice to look at. and listen — --pretty implies --dump, so you don't gotta pass both. she already knows. iykyk 🌈
ngl bestie, --pretty and --dump are kinda the same but one of them ate and one of them is just there. use --pretty if you wanna look at it like a person 🙈

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

the full documentation for lilymidi is maintained as a Texinfo manual, bestie — that's the big fancy book 📖 if both the info and lilymidi programs are properly installed at your site (check your site, fr fr, don't skip the vibe check), then the command

info lilymidi

should give you access to the complete manual. that's her whole lore dropped in one command 🧚⭐

and that's the page, bestie!! go forth and parse some MIDI 💜🎀

with love: lilymidi 2.26.0 — May 2026 — mwah, slay, periodt 🦋💅✨
