Re: silence single notes in MIDI

[Kai Lautenschläger]

Dear Pierre,

thanks very much. That works perfectly. I wasn't aware of that tag-function. This opens up the solution to some other tasks, that I was facing! Great! Thanks again!

Best regards

Kai

Hi,

You can use the \tag function :

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/different-editions-from-one-source#using-tags

In a choral piece I used cross-noteheads for places, where the singers are requested to make a noise (in this case a kissing-noise). I used

d2

\once \override NoteHead.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print 

\once \override NoteHead.text = \markup {

\musicglyph #"noteheads.s2cross" 

} b4 d

as I found it in the documentation. For the PDF output, this works perfectly. Unfortunately die MIDI output gives me a "b". That is expected behavior, I suspect. My question is, wether anyone know a way to practically silence single notes from the MIDI-output. I would be content, if nothing could be heard instead of the b. I don't need another sound, or anything. Can someone point  me to the place in the documentation or give me an idea of how to achieve this?

I use \version "2.17.13"
