Dear Gilbert
So this is the first time I offer help in this list!
Perhaps I can introduce a way I always do with my large orchestral scores with
part amount from 24 to 42. I get this experience because I ever did it in my
Braille Music Editor, which is very hard to turn a *listenable braille music
file* (this is it's only advantage) into Finale--I now give up that foolish
tool. It's very complicated and stupid probably, but can really result a very
good Midi output. Please, if you won't see any confusing errors when compiling
for PDF, add only \layout in your main score file, then make a separate file
named "foo-midi.ly", and merge parts with the same sound into one staff. For
example, piccolo and three flutes and alto flute (this must do additional
transposition to make them sound in concert pitch, because when merging, the
\transposition may also effect other parts, which are now become Voice in one
part. Please see my attachment of the midi generator for my trial: First
Symphony--DOOM). The maximum amount of parts is 16, although there will be a
single warning. You can reject all lyrics contexts in this file (Oh, I
remember, if you are doing with a score for voice only, just make two \score
blocks like the piano template does, then reject lyricx in the \midi one, if
your staff amount is under 16), then add only \midi { } at the end. After
compiling, delete the ugly PDF file and ignore all warnings and errors which
didn't occur in the file you want to produce .pdf.
Hope this will help you! If someone has more economy way, please share!
