OK, I'm gonna try this again ...
A few days ago, I wrote the list asking a question about midi, and saw that
my message came out in the digest, but I've got no help about it, so here's
my question again:
I'm arranging a hymn for barbershop chorus, and frequently want to check my
work to make sure I get the unique barbershop harmonies correct. I was
playing the midi file (with simple piano -- instrument is not important).
This was working fine until I introduced some 'divisi' voices in the last
stanza. Then, all of a sudden the midi file seemed only to contain (or at
least, only to play) the lower staff notes. Nothing I do seems to help this
-- I can't play the full piece. I've tried with the jEdit LilyPond Tool
interface, and with WinAmp -- both sound the same.
When I compile, I get no warnings about anything going wrong, nor do I have
any problem with the PDF display. I *would* appreciate faster compile
times, but I'm told I need more RAM for that, so I'll settle for fixing my
midi ...
I am using LilyPond 2.11.14, jEdit 4.3pre9, LilyPond Tool, and Windoze XP
Pro. My file follows my signature. Thanks for your help.
