Re: slightly OT question about midi rendering

[Lucas Gonze]

Sorry to say that I tried moving the tempo command around and had no 
luck.  It's possible that I missed whichever magic location is 
required, though, since my test file is from a template that I don't 
fully understand.  I will try again with simpler Lilypond source.

Actually, it's good news to hear that this is a Lilypond-related 
problem, because Lilypond is open and healthy, while bloatware GUI 
tools are not.
