Hello,
I don't have much experience with MIDI. I just tried all the media
players on OS X and realized than only QuickTime Player 7 had some
very very basic support for playing MIDI files (I cannot even make it
play loud enough, let alone do anything else with it). None of the
others I have installed worked (VLC, MPlayerX, QuickTime Player,
RealPlayer, ...)
So I went on and made a package for TiMidity++ and freepats.
The problem is: I'm still unable to figure out how to change the
instrument to anything but Piano.
Here's a minimal example:
\score {
\new PianoStaff
<<
\new Voice = "melody" \fixed c'
{
\set midiInstrument = #"accordion"
\time 3/4
f4 g a
}
>>
\midi{ \tempo 4 = 100 }
}
But this doesn't help me in any way.
Freepats contains
Tone_000/021_Accordion.pat
so I tried to set the instrument to "021_Accordion", but that one
didn't help either.
It's not neccessarily a LilyPond's fault. It could be that I simply
misconfigured TiMidity++. I would be grateful for any hints about
where to look next.
Another slightly more straightforward question. TiMidity++ reports
Track name: \new:melody
Is there any simple way to change this to something more meaningful?
Thank you,
Mojca
