The following snippet:

    SLyrA = \lyricmode { tra la la la }
T = \relative c'' { c d e f }

\score {
     <<
        \new Staff \S
            \addlyrics \SLyrB
        \new Staff \T
    >>
    \layout {}
    \midi {}
}

generates a midi file which has the \S and \T music on midi channels 1 and 3, resp. If there are more \addlyrics commands, then more midi channels are skipped.

This is, I believe, new behavior which started sometime after v2.19.15 and before or at v2.19.19. I read the Changes.pdf for v2.19.19 and didn't see (or recognize) any description of this new behavior.

Are you sure that this has changed? I thought lyrics had always been included in midi files.

Actually, I am no longer sure that this has changed. My evidence seems to have been evanescent.


Is there a way to turn this behavior off?

Create a separate \score block for midi generation, without any Lyrics contexts.

Great idea.  Thanks.

Yours, Simon
