Re: LilyPond - dynamics and MIDI output

You have your problem (partly) resolved in the documentation
 D.2.4 Piano centered dynamics.
I am also interested in a good MIDI output.
At he beginning, I was hiding some dynamics, particularly
after a (de)crescendo, but now I prefer writing the dynamics
separately from the notes.
So I write tthe dynamics twice:
1. for the score, as they have to appear on it
2. for the Midi Output, so I can control their effect.
If your are particularly interested in a good Midi output,
I'll give you an example of the way I manage it (Voice +
piano staves).
Cheers. Philippe

LilyPond - dynamics and MIDI output

2007-08-24 Thread Ed Ravin
In piano music, the dynamics written between the upper and lower
staves seem to apply to both staves.  But in LilyPond's MIDI output,
the dynamics are understandably only placed in the staff where they
were entered.  When the MIDI plays, one staff gets louder and softer
in the right places, while the other plays at the same volume throughout.

I know that LilyPond's main purpose is music typesetting, with the MIDI
output a secondary function, but is there any way to deal with this?
Maybe write the dynamics in a second time on the lower staff and make
them all invisible somehow?
