Re: percussion midi ?
It looks as if you have found a bug, indeed. If I try the following
modified version
of your example, it produces its output on channel 10 with LilyPond
version 2.8
but on channel 2 with LilyPond version 2.10. The bug is in
lily/performance.cc,
where a test
if (s-channel_ 0)
was removed, which means that the explicit setting of channel_ = 9 in
lily/staff-performer.cc is lost.
\version 2.10.0
\score {
\new DrumStaff
\drummode {
bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4
{\voiceOne \repeat unfold 16 hh16 }
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 }
\oneVoice
}
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
%end lilypond
However, Simon, there was a problem with your input file as well.
The {...} // {...} feature is hard coded to provide ordinary Voice
contexts, so it will not give you the desired DrumVoice contexts. I'm
actually
surprised that you get any reasonable printed output. Clearly, there is no
corresponding MIDI output. By explicitly instantiating the DrumVoice
contexts above, I solved that problem.

In that case, something else is broken. I
ncluded is a snippet from 7.4.3 Percussion staves in the 2.10 manual
(wrapped into a \score block)

The produced midi does *not* sound like drums... (apart from only the
first four notes audible...)

AW: polyphonic layout
3) The lower system has an overlay of the rest and the g. I assume
Lilypond
counts the voices from top to bottom. So I changed the order in the
second
measure. But this gives a too high rest. It should be from third to
fifths
line.
Try setting the rest manually with something like d'/rest (the d'
specifies where the rest goes. Look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Rests.html#Rests
4) The slurs in the lower system should be in opposite to the stem. I
tried
to set the parentheses inside the angle brackets to get them bound to d-
g
and es-g but then they disappeared at all.
Sorry, can't help without seeing it.
No, but it's good if you can show an example of what you tried so we can
see where you've gone wrong.
Cameron, thanks for reply. I really forgot to attach to files. So let me
paste the current ly file here. I have already introduced the changes you
mentioned.
\version 2.7.39
\include deutsch.ly
upper = \relative c''

{ \slurDown f'4\rest d b'8 ( g d'4. ) } \\ { g,2. }
{ \slurDown f'4\rest es a8 ( g c4. ) } \\ { g,2. }
% I would like to write it like this:
%{ r4 d b'8 ( g d'4. ) } \\ { g,2. }
%{ r4 d' b'8 ( g d'4. ) } \\ { g,2. }
%{ r4 es' a8 ( g c4. ) } \\ { g,2. }

\layout { }
\midi { \tempo 4=60 }
}
% \paper { annotate-spacing = ##t }
}
The layout in the lower staff looks now as expected. But it's annoying to
write \slurDown and f4\rest for each measure. Is there any scheme script
that sets the slur direction and the rest position/distance/offset/what-else
for a lot of measures?

I'm using lilypond version 2.8.7. 1. Bar 1,: voices Med and Low start with identical text and note duration, but the first word of Low is shifted to the left. Why? This doesn't happen in bar 17. 2.

MIDI Output
Hi, Just started using LilyPond and want to use the MIDI as well as layout. I have just entered a bit of 4 part choral music and have a difference between the MIDI output and the printed version. The Alto part ends one section on the D above middle C and restarts on a G flat above middle C. Now I have represented this as: d4.~ d8 r r r4. gf,4. When I print this I get the expected result (i.e. the G below the D). The MIDI file seems to miss this and plays the G above the D. The result is that for the rest of the piece the alto part is an octave high. Is this a known problem??

arabic / turkish / persian (and other ?) accidentals
Hi,
As a composer/arranger I like Lilypond quite a lot, but a serious drawback for
me that it isn't possible to write music with the (quite a lot used) turkish
accidentals, I'm performing turkish music myself.
Up til now, Lilypond only supports two accidental-symbols mapping a quarter tone
up and a quarter tone down. I read some mails on the mailinglists (by typing
turkish) e.g. and two major problems pop up :
1/ quite some accidentals which are used by eastern musicians cannot be
engraved yet. Turkish classical music needs five types of flats and five types
of sharps. Arabic classical music uses some of these symbols used by the turkish
community, but these accidentals have a different meaning. Iranian musicians use
other accidentals (triangle-like accidentals : e.g. the koron). Turkish folk
musicians need accidentals with a numer above (just like a power function in
math) : si-bemol^{2} and si-bemol^{3} where the number indicates how many commas
(a comma being 1/53rd of an octave).
2/ with this plethora of symbols and meanings, quite a lot of difficulties
arise when wanting to map one of these accidentals to a tuning. A typical
example is arabic classical music where musicians from different countries play
the same piece of music from the same composer with the same score with the same
accidentals, yet their tuning of the quarter tones differs.
In order to keep things practical, I think it would be a great step forward if
these accidentals would be engravable without worrying about the tuning, that
is, as a first step. I saw that many people on the lists wanted to combine
midi-tuning and implementation of accidentals right away, I think the problem is
too complicated. Unless you let the user decide what the meaning of an
accidental is (e.g. by typing eseh35 instead of eseh, which could mean a
quartertone lowering 35 cents).
Greetings,
Gunther
