It is a bit annoying but I will focus on the feature first, and maybe help to see what can be done with C++14 later. I do not have any experience with Windows cross compilation though. I’ll wait for Steve’s test at least.

I just looked you github howto and I think it is well done, for all the unfamiliar to git (and there are still so many). I have a lot of experience with git; you’ll receive a neat and clean pull request in a separate branch, well rebased and all. > 1 thing you will probably have to be careful about is the fact that > hydrogen uses the 'position' of an instrument in the drumkit to > determine the (midi) note and that there are very few (if any) 100% > GM-compliant drumkits available in hydrogen > so i guess that this will be crucial in generating a correct score I gathered that Hydrogen mapping to instrument was a bit peculiar when I exported to midi, and all the note did not have the standard expected mapping at all. Unless I am completely wrong, I found that the value of an instrument is its position in the kit (for instance “kick” is instrument 0 in GM kit), and is not at all related to the instrument itself (for instance kick (bass drum) is not 36 as one could expect). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI#Percussion if you have no idea of what I am talking about. Because of this, I was kind of under the impression, that there were currently absolutely no way of knowing what an instrument really is. I guess I could match the name, but then what could qualify to be a bass drum? Would it have to be some kind of regex, stating that if the name has “kick” or “bass drum” in it is a bass drum? Since it is a difficult problem, and not directly linked to LilyPond directly (it would also be useful to generate standard MIDI), I though that I could start to make it work for GM kit only, assuming that it was widely used. But now you are telling me that it is not, so it may not be a good decision. I’ll still continue to make it work for GM kit only for a start, and then will generalize it, but I’m not sure how I will do it. I someone has any idea regarding the subject I’m interested. Standard MIDI output might be the next feature I’ll implement. One way to do the mapping may simply be a dialog box where the user tell what is instrument really is though. I have made good progress so far, and will expect to have a first GM-kit only version soon. At the end of the year at worst. I got all the information I needed from Hydrogen, so now I’m in fully known territory.
