This issue may be too elementary for this mailing list or may have already
been addressed, however I cannot find answers in digging through the
archives and am not sure where to ask more basic questions. If I need to be
re-directed to another area please don't feel afraid to tell me to go away,
i'd just appreciate a little push in the right direction.
The issue I'm having is making a midi out of a piece of drum music that
contains two voices. I'm quite sure that the problem would persist in
non-percussion music but I don't have experience trying that. I can compile
a midi file from code that contains no voice voice tags, but once I make 2
voices it compiles a midi file with no sound. To use the example in the
manual:
\score {
\new DrumStaff <<
\new DrumVoice = "1" { s1 *2 }
\new DrumVoice = "2" { s1 *2 }
\drummode {
bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4
<<
{ \repeat unfold 16 hh16 }
\\
{ bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 }
>>
}
>>
\midi { }
}
When compiled as a PDF it will correctly make two measures of drum music
one being: \drummode { bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 ...... }
and the next:
.... { \repeat unfold 16 hh16 } \\ { bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 }....
However, when compiled as a midi it will only make the first measure of
music "bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4". It does not leave empty space where the next
measure would be, it simply does not compile it. Is there something I'm
missing or is this a bug?
I am currently using lilypond version 2.10.33 as the manual for 2.10 is the
only one I can find instructions for entering percussion in. Perhaps this
has been changed in the updates of the language, does it compile for any
one else?
