Well (sigh), it didn't change a thing. At the first repeat I still get aural chaos. I have posted my entire code at http://pastie.org/1794353, if you have a moment to look at it. I really cannot seem to get my head around this midi repeat thing, and my searches for anything helpful have not led me anywhere. I'm stumped at the moment.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi,

2011/4/13 Tom Cloyd<t...@tomcloyd.com>:
I want to have a PDF score with simple repeats, and a midi file in which all
repeats are taken. This is revision of a program file which has been working
perfectly, except that the midi evidence no repeats. I'm achieving all
engraved repeats using the \repeat volta 2{ music} convention.

I'm using Lilypond ver. 2.13.53. Following the Notation Reference section
3.5.4 - "Repeats in MIDI", I have changed the \score blocks in my ly file to
read:

\score {
   \context Staff = "guitar" \with {
   \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver"
   }
   <<
   %\set Staff.instrumentName="Classical Guitar"  %puts name to left of line
one
   \set Staff.midiInstrument="acoustic guitar (nylon)"
   \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t
   \context Voice = "melody" \melody
   \context Voice = "alto" \alto
   \context Voice = "bass" \bass
   >>

  \layout {
    indent = 0.0\cm % remove indent on first staff
    }
}
\score {
   \unfoldRepeats
   <<
   %\set Staff.instrumentName="Classical Guitar"  %puts name to left of line
one
   \set Staff.midiInstrument="acoustic guitar (nylon)"
   \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t
   \context Voice = "melody" \melody
   \context Voice = "alto" \alto
   \context Voice = "bass" \bass
   >>
   \midi { %causes generation of midi score\
   }
}
I see two possible reasons. First, you don't initialize a staff in
your midi-score. Second, you use \context while \new might be more
appropriate.

I'd also advice you to write your whole structure to a variable,
instead of writing it twice. I mean something like

structure = {
\new Staff = "guitar" \with { \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" }
   <<
   %\set Staff.instrumentName="Classical Guitar"  %puts name to left of line one
   \set Staff.midiInstrument="acoustic guitar (nylon)"
   \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t
   \context Voice = "melody" \melody
   \context Voice = "alto" \alto
   \context Voice = "bass" \bass
   >>
}

% And then

\score {
   \structure
   \layout {
       indent = 0.0\cm % remove indent on first staff
     }
}

\score {
   \unfoldRepeats \structure
   \midi { %causes generation of midi score\
     }
}

Hope this helps,
Janek
