Re: Soundfonts and MIDI output (beginner questions)

Heather, If you want also you can use zynadsubfx or Qsynth to alter your midi sounds. The first is a really interesting synthesizer that you make lots of endless tweaks to. The second enables the use of soundfonts and allows for some processing as the sound as generated such as reverb etc. Both wo

If I can trouble you yet again, here is a second snippet with a similar issue, I would like the triplet E natural in the top voice to take the same space as the E natural half note in the bottom voice and then "disappear". \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn does not work in this case, \mergeDifferentlyDott
