What is the technical reason for repeats to not be automatically "played" (i.e. unfolded) as many times as necessary in the MIDI output?
The "\unfoldRepeats" is a crude hack, and I fail to see the justification behind this feature. Surely, lilypond knows how to iterate over repeats to be able to process "\unfoldRepeats" so surely it should not have any problem generating correct MIDI output without this directive. Why isn't this behaviour "fixed" to behave normally, i.e have MIDI output reflect the music as written? Raphael P.S: Why aren't pralls, trills, arpeggios not automatically realized during MIDI output? When playing baroque music, the lack of realization of those ornaments really changes the way it sounds. And typesetting the realization in the score is cumbersome and messes the visual quality of the score. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
