My hack around this is to begin (each part) with
some arbitrary pitch/duration at _zero_ Velocity
(with the Rest just following, of course).

This has suited my purposes, though I expect it
might invite trouble for others.

Hi,

When, using Lilypond 2.19.0, if my score starts with a rest, the
resulting
MIDI file does NOT start with a rest.

%minimal example
\score {
\version "2.19.0"
\relative c' {
R1 | c d e f | R1 | f e d c |
}
\midi {}
}
%end of example

Result: The MIDI file starts without a rest in the first bar.
The rest in the 3rd bar behaves normally.

Is this a bug, or intentional?

I can't reproduce that - could it be your midi player is wrong?

You're right. It's my midiplayer, timidity, that doesn't "count" the
first rest.

When I use rosegarden or midi2ly I can see the rest is simply there.
Nothing wrong with lilypond.
