Problems with Midi

[Father Gordon Gilbert]

OK, I'm gonna try this again ...

A few days ago, I wrote the list asking a question about midi,  and saw that my message came out in the digest, but I've got no help about it, so here's my question again:

I'm arranging a hymn for barbershop chorus, and frequently want to check my work to make sure I get the unique barbershop harmonies correct.  I was playing the midi file (with simple piano -- instrument is not important).  This was working fine until I introduced some 'divisi' voices in the last stanza.  Then, all of a sudden the midi file seemed only to contain (or at least, only to play) the lower staff notes.  Nothing I do seems to help this -- I can't play the full piece.  I've tried with the jEdit LilyPond Tool interface, and with WinAmp -- both sound the same.

When I compile, I get no warnings about anything going wrong, nor do I have any problem with the PDF display.  I *would* appreciate faster compile times, but I'm told I need more RAM for that, so I'll settle for fixing my midi ...

I am using LilyPond 2.11.14, jEdit 4.3pre9, LilyPond Tool, and Windoze XP Pro.  My file follows my signature.  Thanks for your help.
