Re: MIDI (how to) mute only one -chordname- staff

[Jeff Elliott]

Hi Martial,

Thanks for tip. But ....

Yes your method does work well for a normal "Staff", but I can't seem to get it to work with 

a "ChordNames" staff.  I can't seem to apply Dynamics to a chord name(?)

Any ideas?  Is there a way to turn dynamics on for ChordNames ... so that I can turn them off?

Thanks for you help,

Jeff.

Hi,

Maybe is it a best simple way

but :

Two score

One with only layout {}

the second with only midi {}

%%---------------------------------

%Dynamics are need

Mute = { d''\f a' f' b' }

Sound = { c'\f e' g' c' }

%STAFF

\score {

<<

\Mute \\ \Sound

>>

\layout { ragged-right = ##t }

}

%MIDI

\score {

<<

\new Staff { \set Staff.midiMaximumVolume = #0.0

\set Staff.midiMinimumVolume = #0.0  \Mute }

\new Staff { \set Staff.midiMaximumVolume = #1.0

\set Staff.midiMinimumVolume = #1.0 \Sound }

>>

\midi { }

%%\layout { ragged-right = ##t }

}

%%----------------------------------------

I have a staff (chords in a lead sheet) that I would like to mute in the

MIDI file.

Is there a way to disable the MIDI for that staff, or set the MIDI volume to

zero, or set the instrument to none?
