Because you cut out the relevant part of the quote.  \midi is
useful for checking that you've entered the notes correctly.  If
you skipped over a note or something, the clashing chords will be
*really* noticeable.

Ah, I didn't realize that.  Yes, it would be nice if midi played
the real notes.  If that isn't already in the google tracker, it
should be added.

I could get behind that.


Of course, there won't be any action on any of these midi issues
until a Frog decides to work on midi output.  That could be 2-3
years in the future.
