Windows Media Player alternatives for midi playing?

2021-10-30 Thread Pablo Cordal
Hi, Until now, I use WMP to play the midi compiled in lilypond. I have coolsoft virtualmidisynth installed with a sf2 of my taste and no problem, everything works fine. The problem: WMP blocks the midi file while (and after) it's playing, so if I modify something in lilypond and I want to hear it

Hola Pablo, I assume you don't use Frescobaldi. For playing back midis I use that (even though I don't compose there). In all my composing projects I have a midi.ly file with a score block that only produces midi (only a midi block with no layout block), and uses also the art

Yes, engravings *can* be protected by ip protection laws. But does not really matter. Karstens point is that the GPL applies to Lilypond code because he claims that an engraved score can be considered as a program compiled from the source file. But that is mostly just an analogy. PDF isn't even

Hello- I use Synthfont- choose a default font and then after typesetting (if that's the word) my music click the .ly file for the latest update to the music and it does compile the midi and on I go. All of this is more complicated than it used to be in 2.18 but still works and is very very fa

clef change problem with grace notes

When changing clefs in the left hand the treble clef is placed on the right side of the bar line. It seems to be related to the grace notes happening in the right hand. Does anyone have a fix for this? << \new Staff { \time 7/8 \clef bass ees8 ( d des d fis)-. d ( fis -. ) | \t

One perhaps quick alternative is to use CoolSoft Virtual Midi midi2mp3 convertor. Then you're simply playing an mp3 file, not a midi file. Another is to use VLC. It can 'play' midi after you configure it for a sound font (this is what I do). Regards. On Sat, Oct 30, 2021, 2:39 AM Pablo Cordal w

I have used Timidity++. (I use Linux but apparently you can get the program for Windows as well.) The sound quality is not too great but otherwise it does what it's supposed to do: namely plays the most recent version of the file without the need to close the program or open the file again. Eri

Timidity is OK, but by itself does not have any "soundquality". That depends on the soundfont/patchset it is configured for to use.MTVerzonden vanaf mijn Huawei mobiele telefoon Oorspronkelijk bericht Onderwerp: Re: Windows Media Player alternatives for midi playing?Van: Erika Pirne

Erika, there are threads on this list about configuring timidity to use an alternate sound font like the FluidR3 (which is a fairly decent GM soundfont). Can also goggle configuring timidity to use alternative soundfont. Regards. On Sat, Oct 30, 2021, 1:52 PM Erika Pirnes wrote: > I have used T
