Comment #5 on issue 2653 by [email protected]: Midi output does not respect tied notes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2653
I disagree slightly with your comment. As a grade 8 pianist with a c grade at A level music and with 44 yrs of playing music behind me from Frescobaldi through William Lawes, on to scarlatti and bach, Beethoven to Debussy and all manner of european folk music, I have always played two notes which are the same note tied together with a slur as tied notes. How else did composers signify a tied note? My expectation is that two notes which are the same note with a slur between them /are/ tied, especially when across a rythmic divide or a bar line. If lilypond is not following this convention then I think this should be clearer in the docs.
