Dear Alain,
The mistake in the MIDI file is confirmed in the PDF file. He's
missed a minim from the Cantus (at the start of his 3/2 bar), so
everything is out by a minim for the rest of the piece. It's
nothing to do with computers. :-)
It was Ian Harwood (President of the Lute Society), who despairingly
pointed it out to me.
All the best,
Stewart.

This might also be caused by either inferior software or imperfect
knowledge of how to use the said software... Clearly there is a
problem
with alterations, possibly caused by a conflict between graphical
and
audio requirements : i.e. only the first alteration in a bar is
shown
but every MIDI note in a bar has to be altered.
My two cents,
Alain

Dear Eric,
Let's not split hairs. You need to listen at least halfway
through
the MIDI file, to appreciate fully that someone lacks a certain
musicological nous. Dowland must be turning in his grave.
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.

Ah, but is it a performance at all, as it is presumably MIDI
generated from the Lilypond file?
[Only musicologists to answer this :-) ]
