\score { \new DrumStaff \with { drumStyleTable = #percussion-style \override StaffSymbol.line-count = #1 } \Drum \layout { } \midi { } }
the midi notes appear on channel 10 as they should, but they are overlaid by what appears to be another percussion instrument playing the following simultaneously:
\repeat unfold 3 { toml4\f toml\p toml toml }
i.e., it sounds like a 4-beat metronome. Here I am using toml only because I don't know what percussion instrument is actually involved.
What might be the explanation for this? and how to stop it?
I don’t get this behaviour (in 2.19.13). How do you playback the MIDI file? Are the metronome-notes actually in the MIDI file, or does your MIDI player software maybe have a metronome activated?
Thanks for the information. I was using a midi player called Sweet Midi Player. I recompiled my problem file with lilypond v2.18.2 and found that I still had the problem. Then I played both midi's with QuickTime 7; there was no problem.
Futher investigation showed that Sweet Midi Player did have an option to output metronome clicks on channel 10, and that it was enabled. I disabled it and the problem disappeared.
Again, thanks. |
