Suppress chord names from MIDI output
Is there a way to suppress MIDI output for \ChordName context? When I create a staff with other parts and have chord names at the top, the output always has a piano playing those chords and it's interfering with the rest of the piece, plus I don't need the extra track when I import the MIDI into a sequencer (and it uses up a MIDI track). How do I prevent this from being in the MIDI output? -- Brett W.

+1 Having two score blocks in a book block is working very nicely for me.

There are several ways to handle this.
I always postprocess the MIDI output, eg. to split chords + 4 parts into
4 separate MIDI files, each having one part plus the chords (but with
decreased volume). It would be trivial to just leave the chords out.
Another way is using tags:
allMusic = {
\tag #'scoreOnly \harmonics
\sopranoStaff
... other staffs ...
}
%% Generate the printed score.
\score {
\removeWithTag #'midiOnly \allMusic
\layout { ... }
}
%% Generate the MIDI.
\score {
\removeWithTag #'scoreOnly \unfoldRepeats \allMusic
\midi { ... }
}
