Please disregard my question -- I've managed to find the answer (but I swear I googled for at least an hour before I asked here). I just have to set \clef "G_8" and transpose the score down one octave for tenors.
Sorry for the disturbance :) Catalin On 9/25/06, Catalin Francu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I'm typesetting some choral music. It is written in four staves, SATB, with the S, A and T staves in the G clef and the B staff in the base cleff. The problem is that when I generate the midi from that score, the tenor is sung as written, which is one octave too high. Therefore the midi sounds wrong, the tenor overtakes the soprano all the time. I'm attaching the relevant .ly files (the main one is sfinte_dumnezeule_1.ly) Can I somehow tell the \midi block to transpose the tenor score one octave below what is written? Or maybe there exists a midi instrument that plays the score one octave below, like a bass instrument? This is Romanian music and I've seen this format a lot, with tenor written in the treble clef. Also, I'm trying to stay close to the printed music so I wouldn't want to use the tenor clef. Thanks (and thanks for Lilypond!), Catalin PS -- Please don't comment on everything else that's wrong with my score, I'm very new to Lilypond :)
