Re: Transposing into related modes

Hi Giles I've never worked with modalTranspose before, but based on the documentation https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/modal-transformations I created the following snippet (specially bar 3 and 4): \version "2.25.9" diatonicScale = \relative { c' d e f g a b } motif = \re

That is not in fact worded correctly. The midi standard allows a midi controller to specify a program to the midi synthesizer, which is a number in 0-127 and is intended to allow for switching between different sounds (although it is in fact the decision of the synthesizer what to do with that).
