I (and others) can't play lilypond-generated MIDI files

[Laura Conrad]

Here's a test file that reproduces the problem:


\version "2.22.0"
\score {
\relative c' {
  \time 3/2
  d1 d2 d1 d2 d2 
  \bar "|."
}
  \midi{    \context {
      \Score
      tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 100 2)
      }
    }

}

This was originally reported by a non-technical MacOS user, so he was
presumably using the default browser with watever default MIDI player
that uses.

There are no error messages when I run lilypond.

I have used both timidity and aplaymidi on Linux.  'timidity test.midi"
results in a segmentation fault.  It says:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

But there isn't a core file.  (Maybe a "ulimit -c 0" somewhere I can't
find?)

"aplaymidi -p 14:0 score.midi" doesn't crash but hangs and doesn't play
anything.

This worked fine for years.  It seems to be a problem not only with
current MIDI files but with (all?) the others on my website that were
generated years or decades ago.  For instance the attached MIDI file
that was generated in 2004:

tenor.midi
