I jumped on fink's latest 2.1.26 release. I had to spend a lot of time
using ly-convert, since this is the first release I've had that used
the new /override applications.
Although it looks more or less fine -- need to give a closer look --
one thing bugs me. (Well, two.)
First, ties aren't recognised in MIDI anymore. This has been reported
at least twice already, so I'll stop there.
Second, all MIDI instruments have been set to default (ie, piano). In
an orchestral score, that's all there is...piano. Here are a few sample
instruments where the MIDI instruments are set:
\context StaffGroup ="strings" <<
\context GrandStaff = "upper_strings" <<
\context Staff = "violin_one" <<
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"string ensemble 1"
\set Staff.instrument = \markup {
\center < "Violino I" > }
\set Staff.instr = \markup { \center <
"Vl." > }
\barlines
\theFirstViolins >>
\context Staff = "violin_two" <<
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"string ensemble 1"
\set Staff.instrument = \markup {
\center < "Violino II" > }
\barlines
\theSecondViolins >>
>>
\context Staff = "viola" <<
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"string ensemble 1"
\set Staff.instrument = \markup { \center <
"Viola" > }
\set Staff.instr = \markup { \center < "Vla." >
}
\barlines
\theViolas >>
\context GrandStaff = "lower_strings" <<
\context Staff = "violincello" <<
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"string
ensemble 1"
\set Staff.instrument = \markup {
\center < "Violoncello" > }
\set Staff.instr = \markup { \center <
"Vc." > }
\barlines
\theCellos >>
\context Staff ="contrabass" <<
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"contrabass"
\set Staff.instrument = \markup { \center <
"Contrabasso" > }
\set Staff.instr = \markup { \center < "B." > }
\barlines
\theBass >>
>>
>>
>>
I haven't gotten to study the particulars of the new \set, \override,
etc., so I just mass-fed them through ly-convert. Is there some
particular here I should be aware of?
Thanks.
