I haven't looked at the details of the MIDI format for several years but from a quick look at the descriptions at www.wotsit.org, it seems that you can only have 16 different channels in a MIDI file and each channel corresponds to one instrument (and one Lilypond Staff context). At the moment you have 18 different instruments. It might help to reduce the number of staves for the MIDI output to use only one for each kind of instrument and let each part correspond to a separate voice. This means you probably need a separate \score{} block for the MIDI output. /Mats _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
