I see two possible reasons. First, you don't initialize a staff in your midi-score. Second, you use \context while \new might be more appropriate. I'd also advice you to write your whole structure to a variable, instead of writing it twice. I mean something like structure = { \new Staff = "guitar" \with { \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" } << %\set Staff.instrumentName="Classical Guitar" %puts name to left of line one \set Staff.midiInstrument="acoustic guitar (nylon)" \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t \context Voice = "melody" \melody \context Voice = "alto" \alto \context Voice = "bass" \bass >> } % And then \score { \structure \layout { indent = 0.0\cm % remove indent on first staff } } \score { \unfoldRepeats \structure \midi { %causes generation of midi score\ } } Hope this helps, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
