dear composers and programmers, i need more functions for midi with lilypond. i know - lilypond is NOT a sequencer, but i try to tell you, what i want (and i read this wish in a forum, too)
i work often with the linuxsampler, frescobaldi, lilypond and jack. for my first piano concert i need more samples than 15. i try to explain with an example: on midi-channel 12 there is the violin. in the linuxsampler is loaded the sound for violin-sustain. this is ok for the first 4 measures. but then, i need staccato-violins. and later some other articulations of the violins. i can load all these sounds into the linuxsampler, but i am running out of midi-channels. now my suggestion: create one command, that can not only change the instrument name. create a command, that tells every staff (or even every voice) to change the midi channel AND the port. perhaps it can work as follows: linuxsampler (1) on port 128:0 with all sustain-sounds linuxsampler (2) on port 129:0 with all staccato-sounds linuxsampler (3) on port 130:0 with all solo-sounds perhaps the command can look like this: c4 d e f\midiChannelPort #12 #128 g a h c\midiChannelPort #12 #129 so you can change each channel with additional the port. so, the number of midi-channels are no problem any more! AND: with this feature lilypond goes into the future. so, lilypond will have a GREAT functionality like rosegarden. musical regards Markus W. Kropp aka Musix PS Lilypond is very, very great! i love to write my music with it. ----- Musix-Blog - Über meine Kompositionen - http://www.musix-de.blogspot.com Musix-Wiki - Den Computer zum Komponieren einrichten - http://www.musix-wiki.org Klavierunterricht in Köln - http://www.koelnklassik.de/klavierunterricht.htm Markus W.
