See the section on "Polymetric notation" in the manual (second time today that I refer to the same section). See also http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-01/msg00860.html. /Mats Yvan Vander Sanden wrote: Hey. I know i can use different kinds of measures at the same time,

Quoting Trevor Daniels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 2) Do you still need to add the global default tempo in the MIDI block if you do this? Yes, I believe this is still necessary - it was in LP 2.8. It isn't necessary in LP 2.10 and as far as I can remember it was not necessary in 2.8 either.

Kieran, Can you provide some hints on how to make this even easier to find in the manual? If you read the section on "Creating MIDI files", it says "The tempo can be specified using the \tempo command within the actual music, see Metronome marks." and if you follow the link to Metronome marks,

Hi Kieran The following shows how I change the Midi tempi - you can easily adapt this example to do what you want: TempiA= { \override Score.MetronomeMark #'padding = #3.0 %Page 1 System 1 Bar 1 \tempo 2=80 s1 | s | s | s | s | s | s | %Page 1 System 2 Bar 8 % the following tempo changes imp

Hi Francois,If you are patient, I am looking into developping a utility that will process midi files so that they convert more cleanly. I think there is a sort of consistency in the file structure that lilypond is looking for in the midi file format, and once it is clear, it should be much simpler

Take a look at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Polymetric-notation.html#Polymetric-notation and see if it suits your needs. The main focus of LilyPond is to notate 19th century western music, but as you can see if you browse through the manual, there's some support
