LilyPond generates separate MIDI tracks, in separate channels, for the two staves, so as far as anything playing the MIDI file is concerned, it is not a "louder" note; it is two notes in unison. Nothing about a standard MIDI file indicates to the playing software that these two tracks happen to be the right and left hands on a single instrument. If you don't want the two notes to play at once, I think what needs to be changed is the fact that LilyPond is generating separate tracks per stave. You might be able to use \partcombine to collapse them into a single track and eliminate unisons. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before tribes. https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/
