This is a known behavior and is an intentional feature of PMX when it generates MIDI files. I am aware that according to the modern convention all accidentals are supposed to be cancelled at every bar line. However, as a harpsichord player, I happen to find this convention very counterintuitive when a note is repeated across a bar line and the one before the bar line has either an inherited or explicit accidental. Furthermore, according to the Baroque convention, the repeated note after the bar line would inherit the accidental. Therefore, as a silent protest, I've made the MIDI generation in PMX adhere to the Baroque convention in this instance.
If you want the midi file to silently cancel the accidental, then put a midi-only accidental on the note after the bar line, e.g., af a a a | ani a a a / --Don Simons -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jill-Jênn VIE Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 7:24 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [TeX-Music] Midi files Sorry, I didn't think it was necessary. I thought the only language (allowing the creation of midi files) there was PMX. And the problem was generic, but there the code was: bn0- / % the key signature is -1 a8- g a ( g+ g2 ) // d0 / b82 f+ b c r b c4 | c8-- g+ e+ ( g g ) c4 c8 | b8- f+ b2d / % there in the midi I still hear the b normal, while I want it to be flat ^^ G3sm2b3n c cs d2 f | c2 ze b4+ a | d4d- c1 d f2 / Do you really need the midi file? Because it's too long for such a problem. On 10 oct. 07, at 16:15:32, Cornelius C. Noack wrote: You seem to be complaining about a difference in a musical score and a MIDI file produced with some software that produced this score. But since you gave us neither the score nor the MIDI file, let alone the source for the program (PMX? Lilypond? MYownPrivateSoftware?); I am afraid we can't help. If you are talking MusiXTeX or one of its preprocessors (PMX,MTX), send us both the source file and the MIDI file you created with it, perhaps somebody (e.g. ccn) can help. -- Jill-Jênn http://mickay.jill.free.fr/score/
