In this way the trumpet sound is audible. But it's not enough. Now the
chords played by the acoustic piano(default) in the background is too loud
and cover the instrument armony in most passages.
The question is: how i can decrease the chords volume? (or the opposite,
how can i increase the trumpet volume instead of lower all the others
instrument?)
You can reduce the volume of the default piano in the same way, by setting
midiMinimumVolume and midiMaximumVolume in the piano staff. Note, though,
that these controls only take effect on encountering a dynamic mark, so be
sure you have a mark at the beginning of the piano notes.
BTW, an easier way may be to simply use quieter dynamic marks on the music
of the instruments you want to reduce - these also affect the MIDI volume.
To do this i use often "staccato" notes (a4-. a4-. a4-. a4-.).
I expect my midi output sound like (a8 r8 a8 r8 a8 r8 a8 r8) but sadly it
does not interpret them at all and sound like a simple (a4 a4 a4 a4).
I can simple write (a8 r8) version everywhere but the sheet become really
difficult to read for the performers.
Is there a way to avoid to mantain a double version of the sheets? (one
for the performers with a4-. version and one for the midi output with a8
r8 one?)
Sorry, apart from using separate versions I don't know how to do this other
than by writing a Scheme procedure to add the staccato marks in the midi
\score block.
