Re: MIDI file problem?

[Mats Bengtsson]

I seem to recall that some people have experienced problems with the
LilyPond generated MIDI files when trying to play them on certain
hardware/software. You could try to verify if that's the case for you
by trying the example MIDI files at 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/examples.html
The Satie piece should have \tempo  4 = 60 and the Bach Fuga \tempo 4 = 84.
If these also play in 120, then it's probably a general compatibility 
problem
between your MIDI playing hardware/software and the way LilyPond
generates MIDI.

Exactly which version of 2.9 did you try?
I hope you know that the 2.9.x versions are development versions and
that you preferably should use the latest stable version 2.8.x for any
serious typesetting.
