Hi all
I'm investigating whether I can produce vocal rehearsal tracks with
Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro by importing MIDI files which I rendered with
Lilypond based on the score.
My research suggests that synthV has some specific requirements for MIDI
files in order for lyrics to be imported directly with the melody.
Initial tests have failed in any case.
So with the help of a HEX editor I started investigating the MIDI files
rendered by Lilypond. Find an MWE attached.
My findings so far:
Lilypond...
1.) uses SMF Type 1 -> ok for Synth
2.) saves lyrics as Lyric Events (not Text Events) -> ok for SynthV
3.) saves notes and lyrics in separate MIDI tracks -> nok! SynthV needs
notes and lyrics combined in one track
My questions:
a) Lilypond-related: Can somebody confirm 3.) - if confirmed: Is there a
way to control/change that (for a non-programmer?), by juggling with
contexts e.g. (see MWE)?
b) Off-topic: Is there anybody with a working workflow to render vocal
rehearsal audio tracks including lyrics rooted in Lilypond except for
recording one's own voice ;-) ? If yes, I'll kick off a separate OT thread.
Curious about any replies / considerations / tips / ideas.
Best regards
Stephan
PS/OT: I am aware that SynthV only offers Spanish and English in
addition to Asian languages. I need a different solution for German and
(worse) Swiss-German practice tracks anyway.
