Re: NullVoice and MIDI

[Knute Snortum]

Works for me with 2.18.2.  No error.

Hi,

According to the Notation Reference you can use a NullVoice to align
lyrics or to use lyrics with partcombine (section 2.1.2). However, a
midi{} block will throw a confusing error when a NullVoice is used:

  fatal error: fatal error.  Couldn't find type: Performer_Group

Example program (adapted from the NotRef):

---- snip ----
soprano = \relative { b'8( c d c) d2 }
alto = \relative { g'2 b8( a g a) }
aligner = \relative { b'8( c d c) b( a g a) }
words = \lyricmode { la __ la __ }

music = {
 \new Staff <<
  \new Voice \partcombine \soprano \alto
  \new NullVoice = "aligner" \aligner
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "aligner" \words
 >>
}

\score {
 \music
 \layout{}
}

\score {
 \music
 \midi{}
}
---- snip ----

If not a bug, this may deserve a line of documentation.
