I have discovered that notes that use quarter tone sound bad before rests or at the end of the melody. Here's an example:
Everything sounds right until the last cih' that bends at the end.
I cannot hear the end-of-note bends on my player, but I have heard them before. MIDI encodes music as if it were being performed by up to 16 polyphonic equal-tempered keyboards, each with its own pitch-bend wheel. LilyPond's MIDI output returns the pitch-bend wheel to center immediately after releasing the key, which seems correct. Maybe your playback software simulates an echo (sometimes called reverb) and applies the changed pitch-bend setting to the echo? Quoting Ralph Palmer:
It is my understanding that midi is not officially supported. Is that correct, or not?
The LilyPond community has tried to make MIDI good enough to be useful as a proof-reading method for the scores. This makes sense to me, because it supports the primary goal of LilyPond in making correct printed scores. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
