Hi Jean-Charles
I used "simulating" because this way of doing it is really rather a hack.
A bit like replacing a staccato note with a half-length note followed by
a half-length rest. Both methods render the required music more or
less correctly in MIDI.
Doing it "for real" would be for LilyPond to interpret the fermata and
the
staccato *as notated* and render them correctly in MIDI without having
to mess around like this. *That* would be "performing a fermata",
but current versions of Lily can't do this :(

Hi Graham!
May I object that the naming of the paragraph dealing about "simulating
a fermata" in tweaks.itely (section further tweaking), is totally wrong,
since the glyph is printed AND rendered in the MIDI output? It should
rather be, in my opinion, something like "performing a fermata".
Cheers,
Jean-Charles
I then admit it as a simulation; I would nevertheless have added, to be
clever about the outputs, that it was intended for the MIDI since it is
really not obvious.
That's a good point - I've made a note to change the section name to
"Simulating a fermata in MIDI"
Thanks for suggesting this.
Cheers,
Jean-Charles
