I am not convinced. The Midi instruments together with the "instrument" names and clefs suggest that we are talking about a bass and a tenor voice here, with the tenor using an unmodified G clef, consequently sounding one octave lower than actually written. While one does not need a tenor for singing a C3, it is definitely not unusually low. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
