Re: MIDI and template for dynamics

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi Kaj,

if you use separate templates for pdf and midi, of course you can adjust 
the template as needed per case.
But it seems, you want to create both from one template. If you can use 
at least two score-statements, you can separate both cases and - for 
example - use tags to avoid double dynamics in PDF-output.
Another approach would be to move the Dynamic_performer to the 
Staff-context:

\midi {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \remove "Dynamic_performer"
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists "Dynamic_performer"
  }
}

though, I haven't tested that!
