Orchestral Harp appeared Feb 2009 in LilyPond 2.13.0. MIDI program change #47 was previously (wrongly) "orchestral strings". > And now- I am being evil - nasty -- what is the difference between a > "orchestral harp" and a harp, the pedals?

MIDI GM names are sound names, not instrument names. From that point of view, "Orchestral Harp" is a sound that could be different of another sound known simply as "Harp". The sound of a harp in an orchestra could typically be considered louder or brighter, or both. You know, MIDI sounds do not cover all sounds of an instrument, but rather a single sound of an instrument played in a certain way. BTW most used harps nowadays are the modern harp (chromatic -- 7 pedals) and the Celtic harp (diatonic -- no pedals, per-string levers). -- Francisco Vila.
