I suppose this must have been reported at some point, but, LP 2.18.2 (stable):
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/creating-midi-files ``` To create a MIDI output file from a LilyPond file, insert a \midi block inside a \score block; \score { …music… \layout { } \midi { } } ``` However, the LP version installed from Ubuntu 16.04 packages requires this: \layout { } \midi { } \score { …music… } \layout{} or \midi{} inside the \score causes a syntax error: ``` Starting lilypond 2.18.2 [climax-test.ly]...
