I asked for this and got it from Mats some time ago. It's in the archives. If you use sly, it might be just as easy to maintain a separate midi version, initially using the same notes for both a two stave and a four stave version. You might like more or different dynamics in the midi version, for example. The opposite problem of splitting voices was asked a little while ago, but I still think that midi staves should be lilypond voices, and the reason is that unisons just don't work on a midi staff with more than one voice, and that's a built-in bug. If splitting to get huge numbers of parts is the reason for keeping things the way they are, that limitation should be documented. Better yet, it should be documented anyway. I used tuba, trumpet, clarinet and flute IIRC for a barbershop quartet midi file for rehearsal purposes. The contrasting sounds made it easier for the singers to learn their parts from the tape I made of the file. If you're doing a lot of pieces of the same type, especially if you are making an anthology, you could make two templates and generate two .ly files when you run sly on your notes. Just a thought. daveA -- Why should any country entrust its young people to the leadership of the same morons who *invaded the wrong country*? Answer: For lots of money.
