Question about a midi file

2014-10-14 Thread Patrick or Cynthia Karl 

When I compile the following:

 \version 2.19.15

Drum  = \drummode { 
  \set Staff.midiInstrument =#woodblock
  hiwoodblock4 wbh8 wbh wbh wbh wbh4
  r4 r8 wbh8 r4 r8 wbh8
  wbh4 \repeat unfold 12  { wbh16  }
}

\score {
  \new DrumStaff \with { drumStyleTable = #percussion-style
  \override StaffSymbol.line-count = #1 
}
 \Drum
  \layout { }
  \midi { }   
}

the midi notes appear on channel 10 as they should, but they are overlaid by 
what appears to be another percussion instrument playing the following 
simultaneously:

\repeat unfold 3 { toml4\f toml\p toml toml }

i.e., it sounds like a 4-beat metronome.  Here I am using toml only because I 
don't know what percussion instrument is actually involved.

What might be the explanation for this?  and how to stop it?

I don’t get this behaviour (in 2.19.13).
How do you playback the MIDI file? Are the metronome-notes actually in the
MIDI file, or does your MIDI player software maybe have a metronome
activated?

Thanks for the information.  I was using a midi player called Sweet Midi 
Player.  I recompiled my problem file with lilypond v2.18.2 and found that I 
still had the problem.  Then I played both midi's with QuickTime 7; there was 
no problem.

Futher investigation showed that Sweet Midi Player did have an option to output 
metronome clicks on channel 10, and that it was enabled.  I disabled it and the 
problem disappeared.

Again,  thanks.___
