I was wondering if anyone has developed a good workflow for dealing with midi playback for scores using more than 16 instruments. I've been playing around with the various options for midiChannelMapping and playback programs, but I can't seem to figure out a way to get playback of all the parts with all the right instruments. I realize the technical hurdles of actually implementing multiple port playback in Lilypond, so I'm not asking about that. All the same, it doesn't seem that what I want is that complicated from a user perspective. I don't want to be able to tweak my midi in fancy ways or use different special soundfonts or sample libraries: I just want to be able to check the pitches and rhythms for all the parts with the correct midi sounds. Does anyone have a good way of doing this?
I thought maybe the simplest way would be to make, for example, a midi file for the wind parts, and a midi file for the string parts, and then play them simultaneously to two separate midi ports, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the files to play in sync.
