Re: Key signatures in MIDI output

The issue is consistency and I'm perhaps not using the terms precisely enough to describe what I am seeing. I understand about MIDI notes and that they are neither sharpened not flattened, but each has their own value. In my sequencer (Cakewalk ProAudio 9), if my piece has a Key Signature even

Solving espressivo problem

Dear list I am trying to solve this problem about espressivos that stretches over four beats. I have tried many versions but not seems to solve it The c1 and the b4 c2 b4 bars work as I hoped for. the b2 c2 bar and the a2~ a2 does not give the wished for results. Can anybody help? *

Re: Key signatures in MIDI output

Thank you for your efforts, Matt, and everyone else who has spent any time looking into this. To answer Matt, I did use Midi2ly by way of Frescobaldi and I must also have previously found a way to run a command line batch (if only a repetitive list) because I have way to many files to have done

You are, of course, right. Your evidence is clear. The position of the \key command seems a strong candidate but I can't get it into the .MID even in the simplest of snippet. As I mentioned I also have other behaviour I can't explain so it could also be version related. I reinstalled the latest

Hello, I have frequently encountered the situation where I want to have feathered durations within a specified duration -- e.g., a crotchet, or a minim, or a breve.  This is the code I've come up with: \once \override Beam.grow-direction = #RIGHT   \featherDurations #(ly:make-moment 1/2)   \t
