Hi, I had exactly the same problem the other day, also using 2.6.4 Windows XP native. The only way I could solve it was by switching to a regular SATB choir format (i.e. using ChoirStaff instead of StaffGroup). I have no idea why that makes a difference, and I don't know if that will work for you in terms of the visual layout.

I' v Had something weird happen to a few times now. Im working on Windows XP with the native - lilypond 2.6.4 through a jEdit- editor with a lilypond tool . I'v been using the Ancient notation/ transcription of mensuralnotation example from the manual as a template for editing renaisance music. When adding a midi block to the score I get a real weirdo. The midi comes out as somekind of percussion ensemble with sounds of drums, bels et.c. instead of normal notes. (It isn't the Lilytools midi listener as I also listened on Timidity and Realplayer) Changing the "instrument" with the "\set Staff.midiInstrument = "choir aahs" isn't working neither with the comand put in the musicinput strings of the parts nor by putting it in the score block. I Did also try just run the orginal transcription example as it stands but adding a midiblock and I got the same weird result. I don't thing it's my set up as I get a normal midi when I build something similar from scratch. Cant figure out what in the example does this. Its anoying as using the example as a template is a convinient way to get a Incipit with the orginal notation on a score. Listening to check for errors in orginall or editingis is a necessary part of the transcripting process as auraly cheching the edditorial accidentals . ( Making my own template and use that usually ends by my "loosing" it some where in the files by forgetting where in which subsubsub folder its stored. So beeing able to copypaste it from the Lilyhelp in jEdit or from the manual on lilysite is convinient) Anders Stenberg _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
