Greetings Claire, Puzzling. I just tried your code, and it worked just fine for me. The terminal output was:
Playing Claire.midi MIDI file: Claire.midi Format: 1 Tracks: 2 Divisions: 384 Sequence: Text: creator: Text: GNU LilyPond 2.20.0 Track name: \new: Playing time: ~5 seconds Notes cut: 0 Notes lost totally: 0 And, indeed, three quarter note C's were played. It makes me wonder if the issue hasn't something to do with your midi configuration itself? Just a thought. I am using timidity for midi playback with the freepats sound fonts.
