Re: MIDI output trick

What LilyPond version are you using? In recent versions, there's no need to use \applymusic, rather you can use the function \unfoldRepeats as described in the section on "Repeats and MIDI". Also, this function should not have any influence on the MIDI instruments. I think you original problem

In any text editor, it's trivial to automatically replace all occurences of something like \lilystart by \begin[staffsize=12]{lilypond} \include "bookstyle.ly " or whatever, so I have personally not seen any need for this feature. Of course it's very clever to do what you did,

Re: programming error: (de)crescendo on items with specified volume.

Hi Neil, the documentation advises you to explicitly terminate (de) crescendos to prevent problems with the MIDI output. Ah... I don't do much work with MIDI, so I've never run into that part of the docs... Here's hoping you solve the problem! Kieren.

If you upgrade to the latest development version, 2.11.x, there is no need for any tweaking, since these kind of collisions are avoided automatically. If you want to stick to the stable version, read about how to modify the padding of different objects in section "Common Tweaks". Note that Rehe
