Re: Some Midi Output Problems
You're right (I think), I can't make dynamics work in the ChordMode context
either.
However, if all you want to do is to silent the chords you can try removing
the Note_performer, like this:
\midi {
\context {
\ChordNameVoice
\remove Note_performer
}
}
Writing a music function is described in Section 6.1 of the 2.11 docs. Be
prepared for a long haul, though :) The example in 6.3.3 shows the sort of
thing you might need.

You can reduce the volume of the default piano in the same way, by
setting
midiMinimumVolume and midiMaximumVolume in the piano staff. Note,
though,
that these controls only take effect on encountering a dynamic mark,
so be
sure you have a mark at the beginning of the piano notes.
There is no piano staff, only a chordmode section (something like this):
--
Accordi = \chordmode
{
\repeat unfold 60 {
f2:9+ bes2:7
}
\repeat unfold 2 {
f1
f1
ees1
ees1
}
}
--
Nor "\set Staff.midiXVolume" nor "\ppp" on chords (like f1\ppp) works.
Just to know this chordmode section is included in the staff this way:
--
\score {
\new StaffGroup
<<
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\Accordi
}
\new Staff << \WithChords \global \Tromba >>
\new Staff << \WithChords \global \Alto >>
\new Staff << \WithChords \global \Tenore >>
\new Staff << \WithChords \global \Baritono >>
>>
\layout { }
}
--
BTW, an easier way may be to simply use quieter dynamic marks on the
music
of the instruments you want to reduce - these also affect the MIDI
volume.
The "Control MIDI" dynamic marks are printed in the sheet (and, by the
way, i have to replace the real dynamics). I want to avoid this.

Sorry, apart from using separate versions I don't know how to do this
other
than by writing a Scheme procedure to add the staccato marks in the
midi
\score block.
Can you point me to some docs about this Scheme procedures? Something
specific for lilypond i found a general intro on the guile site.

Thank you Trevor for the answers!
