By chance, I had this bug too. It seems to be raised by the \laisserVibrer tie. Since, when I remove it, the error disappear. But this is a random bug and as soon as I try to insulate it... it vanishes well to summary, I have a \time 4/4 a4 a a a \laisserVibrer \time 2/4 R2 etc. and a

Your \score{...} block contains a \midi but no \layout, so LilyPond will only produce a MIDI file, no PDF file for your example. Are you sure that you didn't look at an old version of the PDF? When I add a \layout{} block, I certainly get a metronome mark in the PDF. Regards /Mats Ole

However, in the output the two notes seem to overlap (not only the vertical bars around them but also the noteheads). This also happens with normal whole notes but not with half notes or shorter durations. Is this intended or is it a bug? I think it is a many-years-old bug. Bert

Why is layout block needed in the score block if there is also a midi block? If you remove the midi block, you get the PDF. It is very inconsistent behaviour. There was a discussion years ago about this, I don't remember its end. Bert Mats Bengtsson írta: Your \score{...} block contains a

One good reason is if you want different versions of the score in the PDF and in the MIDI, for example if you want to expand all repeats in the MIDI or if you want to workaround the limitation that the maximum number of MIDI tracks (corresponding to Staff contexts in LilyPond) is limited. Then,

I feel it very counter-intuitive. You create a simple score - get a PDF. Add a simple MIDI block - you lose the PDF. Why? Let's suppose the new user wants a way to create a MIDI. He looks at the doc, and sees: To create a MIDI from a music piece of music, add a |\midi| block to a score... He

Is there a way to specify the ouput filename for a midi file within a midi block? I want to produce learning midis for a quartet from a single lilypond file (I could write different files in which I include the music, but it takes a lot of time) I found an answer to a similar question in the

As far as I know, there is no such feature. If you have several \score{...} blocks in the same .ly file, it will result in several MIDI files, named as you describe below. /Mats Hauke Rohmeyer wrote: Is there a way to specify the ouput filename for a midi file within a midi block? I want

It's nothing difficult, just a matter of telling your text editor to save the file using UTF-8 encoding. If you cannot figure it out yourself, just send a question to the mailing list, telling what text editor you are using. /Mats David Gippner wrote: No, it is not. Is there another

From the WinEdt help: WinEdt is an ASCII and not a UNICODE application. That's your problem. (My problem too, I've been using Winedt for LaTeX for over 5 years now.) Try jEdit with the Lily plugin, it is clearly better than Winedt. (Maybe also for TeX?) Hope this helps, Imre
