Not necessarily - you can remap the instrument numbers either in Lilypond or most synth software. I did that to use a non-GM organ soundfont with different instrument numbers for the different stops, in https://audio.northcoastsynthesis.com/?t=loquat . But it's true that using a soundfont with GM numbers will give you one less thing to think about, if the GM instruments are the ones you want to use. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before tribes. https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
