Re: Regression?: Wrong order of MIDI tracks for lyrics

I have a similar issue but did not find a reply to the above question. It is
hard to find out what is the order in which music and lyric tracks are
written to the MIDI file. This is necessary to map music and lyrics when
reading the MIDI file in a sequencer program.

Furthermore the order seems to depend on the music itself. See the following
example:


\version "2.16.0"

\score {
\new ChoirStaff
<<
    \new Staff = "Soprano" {
        <<
          \new Voice="Soprano" { r c }
          \addlyrics { "Soprano" }
        >>
    }
    \new Staff = "Alto" {
        <<
          \new Voice="Alto" { c }
          \addlyrics { "Alto" }
        >>
    }
    \new Staff = "Tenor" {
        <<
          \new Voice="Tenor" { c }
          \addlyrics { "Tenor" }
        >>
    }
    \new Staff = "Bass" {
        <<
          \new Voice="Bass" { c }
          \addlyrics { "Bass" }
        >>
}
>>
    \midi { }
}


The track order in the MIDI file is:
music alto
music tenor
music bass
lyrics alto
lyrics tenor
lyrics bass
music soprano
lyrics soprano


When removing the initial rest in the soprano staff the order changes as
follows
music soprano
music alto
music tenor
music bass
lyrics soprano
lyrics alto
lyrics tenor
lyrics bass


I would have expected one of the following track orders:
- lyrics track immediately following corresponding music track
- or even better: music and lyrics written into the same track


Does anybody know how it works and how it should work?

Greetings,
Dominik
