Hi Tom, * What software are you opening the file in? * What operating system are you using? * What keyboard are you trying to connect to (if you have a digital manual that would be very helpful)
You can specify the instrument of the music using midiInstrument<https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/using-midi-instruments> for the standard midi instruments. Midi Instrument List<https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/midi-instruments> I suspect the issue is not with LilyPond but with your midi driver setup and the connection between your computer and your keyboard. Regards, Calvin Ransom, Hopefully helpful Troubleshooter.

Hello all: Is there a way to get the Lilypond MIDI playback to just use whatever instrument my keyboard is switched to? There are multiple piano sounds and Lilypond always wants to use the one I like least. Not a big deal obviously, but I haven't been able to restrain it, and that makes me question who's in control here. Thank you, -Tom
