Generating audio is one of the important reasons to use LilyPond. I use Timidity++ on a Linux system with CrisisGM351 soundfont, and I get very acceptable results. I must admit that I cannot remember where I got this soundfont from, but AFAIK it's a free font. -- Johan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
