Re: MIDI settings

[Mats Bengtsson]

I guess that major problem is that you cannot even specify a \p
or \< within \chordmode {...}. Otherwise, it's easy to modify the
definition of the ChordNames context to take the dynamics into
account in the MIDI output.

One possibility is to include your dynamics in a separate identifier:

mydynamics = { s1 \p s1*4 \f ...}
and make a separate \score for the MIDI output, with
\score{
  ...
  \new Voice <<\mychords \mydynamics>>
  ...
  \midi{...}
}

corresponding to
\score{
  ...
  \new ChordNames \mychords
  ...
  \layout{...}
}
in the print version.
