I haven't tried Denemo, certainly not in the last few years. I probably need to do so. It's probably impolite to use it just as a glorified Midi input tool, but if it does that job better than, say, Rosegarden... Now here's the deal: my main Midi device is a rather simplistic midified accordion. Accordions have chord buttons and bass buttons. The chord buttons deliver three-note chords, the bass buttons single-note bass notes. The actual chords are composed from 12 different notes (only a single octave) of which three are selected by a mechanical lever system. If you tell the Midi electronics to be "chord-accurate", it will only report a chord note when at least three levers have been detected. So unless you use more than one chord button at a time (actually perfectly feasible, for example for getting Cmaj7 you'd use Cmaj+Amin), the chords will be delivered and released perfectly simultaneously. So if I'm doing the full deal, I'll be getting material on three channels (bass, chords, melody) where the chords at least are nicely synchronized. Is that something that Denemo is supposed to be able to deal with well? -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
