Hi all, I’m wondering if there’s a smart way to make the midi output for a
particular part do the following two things (both common in Sousa marches):
1. Have a part play only on 2nd time through the repeat.
2. Have different dynamic for 1st and 2nd times through repeat.
A minimal example of how I would typically typeset this is below but produces
midi output that plays all repeats with uniform volume. I've had a good hunt
around the internet for examples of doing this but either I'm searching for the
wrong things or this is a somewhat obscure request!
Thanks in advance.
Some of this can be achieved using the \volta command:
\version "2.23.7"
myScore =
\relative {
<>^"2nd time left, 3rd time right!"
\repeat volta 3
{
\tag MIDI \volta 2 \set midiPanPosition = -1
% \tag MIDI \volta 2 \set midiMaximumVolume = 0 % does not do
anything; why?
\tag MIDI \volta 3 \set midiPanPosition = 1
c'4 d \tag MIDI \volta 3 <>\pp e f
}
}
\score {
\removeWithTag MIDI \myScore
}
\score {
\unfoldRepeats \myScore
\midi {}
\layout {} % for debugging only
}
Here I used a tag to keep the print version of the score clean from all
the MIDI stuff.
I just do not know why the setting of midiMaximumVolume does not do
anything if put inside a \volta construction. For the pan position, it
works like a charm...
