Just curious, does changing the Staff.midiInstrument midstream produce more
than one MIDI track?
Below is one way to simplify your expressions.
I wasn't happy with this solution in that I couldn't find a way to apply a
markup to the music expression $note within the music function, and instead
had to apply it to an empty chord preceding the note.
\version "2.19.15"
pizz = \markup { \larger \italic "pizz." }
midiPizz = \set Staff.midiInstrument = "pizzicato strings"
myPizz = #(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?) #{
{ \midiPizz <>^\pizz $note }
#})
arco = \markup { \larger \italic "arco." }
midiArco = \set Staff.midiInstrument = "violin"
myArco = #(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?) #{
{ \midiArco <>^\arco $note }
#})
\score {
\new Staff \with { midiInstrument = "violin" } {
\relative c'' {
c2 \midiPizz c4^\pizz c |
\midiArco c2^\arco r \bar "|." \break
c2 \myPizz c4 c |
\myArco c2 r \bar "|."
}
}
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
