Hi Patrick, Unfortunate that the midi is by default commented out or else you could also do: \new Staff \with { instrumentName= Violin I midiInstrument=violin } and get the midi to sound right. Why can't this be done with the MIDI commented out? Works fine for me (i.e., doesn't throw

Hi all, it just makes for easier input to define the clef with the staff. For me, the reason to put the clef in the music variable (as opposed to the Staff context) is that the clef may change within the passage — for example, some of my cello music changes clefs a dozen times or more

Hi all, Below is my first draft of a String Quartet template (score only) — here are my notes, for discussion-prompting purposes: 1. I decided not to include any context names: I think that's a rather advanced topic that doesn't need to clutter up a template. 2. I've included a \header
