i try this code for a midi file with drums with a volume low

if the is 0.1 or 0.9 the volume is the same !
Hi, Daniel.
First of all, the second \set command misses the (non-optional)
identifier what value should be set (i.e., Staff.midiMaximumVolume).
Then, the Notation Reference (NR) 3.5.5, "Equalizing different
instruments (i)" states that "There must be a dynamic mark on the first
note of each instrument for this to work correctly." So you should add a
\f or \p or whatever to the first notes. (Not sure whether you need to
specify the midiInstrument and/or midiMinimumVolume along with this, by
the way; try to comment out these lines. But I'd guess so at least for
midiMinimumVolume, s.t. you don't end up with the (default) piano louder
than your (overridden) forte.)
(=> Should this be changed or more highlighted, for example as a "Known
issues and warnings" section?)
Next, NR 3.5.6 says that also for MIDI output, you should notate the
drums in a DrumStaff context instead of a usual Staff (and, thus, change
the first argument of the \set command accordingly).
And finally I'm not sure about the \drums command; it's not mentioned in
the command index, although it seems to work somehow. You probably
wanted to use \drummode.
\version "2.12.0"
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"acoustic grand"
\set Staff.midiMinimumVolume = #0.7
\set Staff.midiMaximumVolume = #1
c\f d e f g a b c'
}
\new DrumStaff \drummode {
\set DrumStaff.midiInstrument = #"drums"
\set DrumStaff.midiMaximumVolume = #0.1
\set DrumStaff.midiMaximumVolume = #0.3
toml\f ss\f hh ss toml ss hh ss
}
>>
\midi {}
}
Works with me.
Cheers,
Alexander
