If there are no real solutions, I guess someone may write a function to automatically achieve this, say, \sustainOffOn [...] Hmm, that's not a bad idea. What if the function that breaks a note into two tied parts, like you said, also manipulates the grobs so that it still renders as if it's the original note? Not sure if this is actually achievable, but it *seems* that it should be possible with a sufficiently clever Scheme function... (I'm currently cutting my teeth on using Scheme in lilypond.) Having a function that automatically does this is essential for me, since I use this a LOT in my piece, and it would be far too tedious to manually split every note where the problem occurs. Or I could try to locate the source of the problem in the lilypond code and fix it there... I'm not sure which one would require more effort, though, since I first have to understand enough of the code to figure out where it might have gone wrong. :-P T -- If blunt statements had a point, they wouldn't be blunt... ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

\sustainOff\sustainOn produces inconsistent MIDI results
Hi All, I'm having some trouble with the MIDI output from lilypond for a new piano composition. I have a lot of \sustainOff\sustainOn sequences in the music, and while they show up fine on the score, the MIDI file appears to sometimes turn off sustain completely instead, instead of turning off previously sustained notes and starting new sustained notes. Here's a snippet that exhibits this problem: | g8(\sustainOn d' g d f,\sustainOff\sustainOn d' f d | ees,\sustainOff\sustainOn c' ees c d,\sustainOff\sustainOn bes' d)\sustainOff r | I used a decompiler on the MIDI file and discovered that some of the sustain pedal controller events have been transposed. The correct sequence of controller events ought to be (64,0), (64,127), but lilypond appears to sometimes generate (64,127), (64,0) instead, which, of course, has the effect of completely turning off the sustain. (Note: 64 is the sustain pedal, 0 means pedal off, 127 means pedal on). Is this a known bug? Are there any workarounds? P.S. I'm using lilypond 2.18.2.

Furthermore, the layout engine seems to have improved significantly -- an overfull page I had before is now correctly spilled over to adjacent pages so it no longer needs to be compressed. Hooray! I guess I'll be using 2.19.16 from now on. :-) T -- War doesn't prove who's right, just who's left. -- BSD Games' Fortune ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
