Re: Suppressing a voice in the midi output
Karsten, a new answer to your question arrived 5 years later,
thanks to Stephen. I thought it would be useful to share back
in the mailing list :)

Or simply create a different "book" for the midi, and only include
the voices you want... I often do this also because I want to
\unfoldRepeats and maybe add a \tripletFeel and most significantly
because I'm using transposed instruments which then need to be
transposed for the sake of MIDI output but not for reading...

Would setting volume to zero be ok for your use case ? If so, try
something like the following:
\new Staff \with {
midiInstrument = "muted trumpet"
midiMinimumVolume = #0.0
midiMaximumVolume = #0.0
} {
\new Voice = "vocal" { \melody }
}

Re: Suppressing a voice in the midi output
... Sorry, directly after having posted my question I had an idea: a) I've 'exported' each voice into a single variable. b) I've created a score section containing all voices which shall be visible. This score contains the layout infos, but no midi infos. c) i've added another score section containing only the voices which shall be audible. This score contains the midi infos, but no layout infos. works. thanks to all of you who would have answered ;-) best regards Karsten On Sun, 2019-12-15 at 12:56 +0100, Karsten Reincke wrote: > Dear friends; > > In the LilyPOnd tutorial I found the explanation how to assign each a voice a > separate midi channel = instrument > > http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/creating-midi-files > > Unfortunately, I have to prevent one / some voice(s) from being ingrated into > the > midi file (because it only contains meta information which shall not be > played). > > Does anyone know how I can say that voice X shall not be converted into the > midi > file?

Suppressing a voice in the midi output
Dear friends; In the LilyPOnd tutorial I found the explanation how to assign each a voice a separate midi channel = instrument http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/creating-midi-files Unfortunately, I have to prevent one / some voice(s) from being ingrated into the midi file (because it only contains meta information which shall not be played). Does anyone know how I can say that voice X shall not be converted into the midi file? Or does any know how I could assign this voice 'a silent instrument'? Many thanks for your help Karsten -- Karsten Reincke/\/\ (+49|0) 170 / 927 78 57 Im Braungeröll 31 >oo< mailto:k.rein...@fodina.de 60431 Frankfurt a.M. \/http://www.fodina.de/kr/
