Comment #1 on issue 4059 by [email protected]: Documentation for issues
3601 (based on 3581), 4042 (NR: "MIDI output", Section 3.5)
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4059
I think we have to mention midiChannelMapping at the very end (or skip
documenting it until we find a use for it, issue 2986) because
midiChannelMapping=#'voice does not work well with with settings read by
the Staff_performer, such as the newly documented pan, reverb, expression,
etc.
For beginning work, each Staff is a MIDI channel.
When we need to take control of midi channels, separate \score blocks are
the most clear
\score { ... \layout{} }
\score { ... \midi{} }
where in the \score with \layout we arrange music into \Staffs for printing,
and in the \score for \midi we arrange music into \Staffs for desired MIDI
channels
Then the snippet with \new Voice \with {\consists Staff_performer} is a
more-brief, but less-clear way to do the same.
And then finally midiChannelMapping automatically assigns notes to MIDI
channels, and sometimes routes other MIDI settings to the intended channels
as well.
