Comment #5 on issue 1548 by jan.nieuwenhuizen: midi output should map voices to channels
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1548
Having voices mapped to channels would be ideal from a musical pov and this is what
the first implementation (8dc343b) did. Now, it can be selected by setting #midiChannelMapping = #'voice. The problem with this setting is that most midi players/devices allow only one instrument setting per channel, per midi file (at a certain time). In theory, this can be fixed by playing each staff to it's own track and port, this is what #'voice does, but most midi players ignore that too. In short; this issue had better be named: LilyPond should make voices in midi output distinguishable. In the current default, voices are mapped to tracks. This accomodates the midi2ly problem while retaining good midi playback. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
