RE: Midi-output not generated

[Paul Rijke]

Hi Trevor,

I think you're right. I tried the example in the manual and I hear the bd4
dn4 bd4 sn4 in the midi, but only that! Do you think that this will be
fixed, cause I really like it this way so I can create and combine all kind
of patterns to create a score very easily. 

     \new DrumStaff <<
       \new DrumVoice = "1" { s1 *2 }
       \new DrumVoice = "2" { s1 *2 }
       \drummode {
         bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4
         <<
           { \repeat unfold 16 hh16 }
           \\
           { bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 }
         >>
       }
     >>
        
        \midi { }

I haven't made extensive tests, but it seems the << {..} \\ {...} >> 
construct is incompatible with midi (drum?) output.  If you 
rearrange your score to use explicitly defined DrumVoice contexts it 
should work.  Something like this:

musicOne = \drummode {
  \repeat unfold 8 { cymr8 }
}
musicTwo = \drummode {
  bd8 bd8 bd4 bd8 bd8 bd4
}

\score {
  \new DrumStaff <<
    \new DrumVoice {
      \voiceOne
      \musicOne
    }
    \new DrumVoice {
      \voiceTwo
      \musicTwo
    }
  >>
  \layout { }
  \midi { }
}

I'll add this limitation to the Notation Reference after I've 
checked further (or if someone else confirms it before I find the 
time to check it).

Trevor
