Hello! I have been struggling the past few weeks with an example that produced a very odd MIDI output. Unfortunately it is an awfully large orchestral example, and I can't reproduce it with a small file. The main file is orchestra.ly. The music lasts for about 4 minutes and 40 seconds. The midi output has events up to 40 minutes, several notes without 'note-offs' and other strange things. On aplying timidity to it I got, among other messages:
> orchestra.midi: Can't read track header. > Drum set 7 is undefined > Drum set 127 is undefined > Instrument `pistol' can't be found. > Couldn't load instrument pistol (tone bank 0, program 127) but the music has no pistols nor drums. I'm using Lilypond 2.0.0. I had the same problem with 1.6.6. The example files are tgz-ipped. I think it has something to do with MIDI limitations on number of tracks, because when I try less than 16 staves everything works fine. The fact that Lilypond didn't report anything wrong on producing the wrong midi file made me think it might be considered a bug. By the way, I tried to find in the internals documentation any hint on telling Lilypond to use a specific midi track for a particular Staff (since my example has 34 staves but uses only 13 "midi instruments"). I guess I shouldn't mix a question with a bug report... sorry! But if you could help me........... Thanks in advance! Marcelo
