Hi all,
The following midi file is using 3 channels - (1) piano , (2) bass ,
(10) drums - and I want to create sheet music for only the piano part:
http://braziloutsource.com/random/poinciana.mid
I tried the following lilypond commands, but I only get the bass clef
in the created "poinciana-converted.pdf" file, as well as lots of
warnings in the last command:
midi2ly poinciana.mid -opoinciana.ly
convert-ly poinciana.ly > poinciana-converted.ly
lilypond poinciana-converted.ly
I tried removing the bass and drums channels in seq24, but opening the
file gives me a "Unsupported MIDI format detected: 0" error.
Please help.

Try Rosegarden. I imported the MIDI into Rosegard 1.7.0, deleted the
bass and drum tracks, then selected the Preview with Lilypond option and
got fine looking sheet music (albeit the whole track on a single stave).
As a pianist, I'd want to split it into the standard bass and treble
staff, though.

As a pianist, I'd want to split it into the standard bass and treble
staff, though. Split on Pitch option, set to use Treble and Bass
Clef. You could
experiment with the split point if needed. Then I selected the
segments
(it keeps them linked), cut them, and pasted them back. That broke their
linking and I was able to drag the lower segment to the track below and
got a very usable piece of sheet music.

That created a "piano upper" segment and a "piano lower" segment on
the same midi track. With you so far...

I'm not parsing what you mean by "Then I selected the segments

cutting and pasting the piano upper and lower segments but I got
either all bass clefs or all treble clefs. Can you clarify further
please. Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure either, but note that the behaviour when you
split a segment changed a while back -- formerly you got two segments
with one overlaid unhelpfully onto the other; more recently you should
get two separately visible segments on the same track. (I can't
actually remember though whether this change predated 1.7 or not.)
Anyway, you should just have to drag the lower one to a different
track in order to get them treated as separate staffs for the notation
view and Lilypond export.

I have 1.7.0.
I tried to drag the lower segment to another track - both segments came
with it until I did the cut and paste routine in the first track. Then I
could move the lower track.

That suggests that you probably had both selected, perhaps because you
selected them by clicking on the track header (which selects all
segments in the track). If you clear the selection by clicking on an
unused track and then try to drag one of the two, you should get just
that one.
