I don't have a problem with the default changing, as long as there's an easy way to get back the current behavior, preferably from the command line so that hundreds of files don't have to be edited. But for me, the currrent behavior (for \repeat volta) is the correct one. If I'm typesetting music, it saves a *lot* of proofreading time if what the MIDI plays is what's on the paper, and not what the performer is going to play. When I was using ABC for note entry, this is the major feature that convinced me to do the proofreading on the lily output and not on the abcMIDI/abctab2ps output, which does the equivalent of \repeat unfold. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.

I don't typeset 19th century operas, but I will just mention that the one or two times I checked a tremolo-containing score with MIDI, I was unpleasantly surprised to hear the music go dead all of a sudden. So I'm with Piero, switch it on by default. It would make score-checking more enjoyable. - Mark ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

They take the 90% of tremolos I find in my work. But if your \tremolos code works you'll save a huge amount of KB from my .ly files. On unfoldTremolo, I'll give a try, but if you confirm it works, I don't see a reason not to implement it in next Lilypond version.

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. > For me, I only use "\repeat percent" and most of all "\repeat > tremolo".

Graham Percival-3 wrote: > > > I *never* put \unfoldRepeats. If you want real music, listen to > musicians. > Uhm... so, why don't we abolish \midi output? I undestand what you said. It's because you mostly use \repeat for just "\repeats volta", which I can understand is THE most used \repeat usage (so, I apologize for the "99% of users"). For me, I only use "\repeat percent" and most of all "\repeat tremolo". In both cases, audio output is important. At least for tremolos, you'll perfectly agree that there's no point in not playing it by midi (midi only play the note(s) that represent the length of tremolo, not the notes of which trmolo actually consists: it doesn't make sense, for me) I transcribe a lot of 19th century opera orch and piano scores and in some operas there's almost no page without tremolos. I would like to listen how it sounds, even with MIDI. Unless, of course, you come in my studio with a bunch of singers and a not-above-average late 19th century orchestra, direct them (and occasionally play piano) when I need. Just when I need, of course, you'll have plenty of spare time! ;) bye H. P.S. Perhaps, the \unfoldRepeats behaviour should be the default behaviour in case of "\repeat percent/tremolo", and not for "\repeat volta" (or additionally in voltas also in case of different "alternative" endings).

I *never* put \unfoldRepeats. If you want real music, listen to musicians. If you want to check your typesetting, repeats just waste your time.

Feat. request: autobehaviour of \unfoldRepeats
Hello, I wonder why I (and, as I can imagine, 99% of users out there) have always to put \unfoldRepeats in a different \score block just for correct MIDI output, thus having to put in a variable all the \score content and use it in both \score blocks. It's not -till now - a problem for me, but I feel it like a complication (and thus, a potential danger) and I can't figure out why this should not be the default MIDI behaviour, so that only if you don't want this you'll have to put some code tweak. Is there some technical problem? Any other reason not to change this behaviour? If so, is there a manner to include this behaviour in a external GenSetting.ly file in order to include it and having a "single \score" file behave like this? thanks Piero - Piero Faustini, PhD student Dipartimento di Scienze Storiche Sezione musicologia Università di Ferrara Main Software used: - LyX 1.6.1 on WinXP sp3; EndNote & JabRef - MikTex - LaTeX class: Koma book - Lilypond 2.12 for example excerpts - BibLaTeX for bibliographies -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Feat.-request%3A-autobehaviour-of-%5CunfoldRepeats-tp22985125p22985125.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
