What I've found in regard to \tempo is that it either works in the \score block that is generating the midi or if it is referenced in every single staff. If you want the tempo to change in the middle of the piece you have to use the latter approach. I do this by having each staff include one or m

For what it's worth, I found a non-bloated midi renderer for OS X that lets you adjust the tempo. Still a GUI tool, but fine otherwise. Google "Mighty Midi". - Lucas On Mardi, sep 16, 2003, at 07:47 America/New_York, Terje Tjervaag wrote: On Sun, 14 Sep 2003 20:14:46 -0400 Lucas Gonze <[EMAI

It's several years since I looked at the MIDI generation last time, but as far as I can remember, the tempo indication is set only in channel 0 if you use the \tempo command within the \midi{...} section but is set in the channel corresponding to the stave if you use the \tempo command within the a

slightly OT question about midi rendering

2003-09-14 Thread Lucas Gonze
Sorry to get off topic so soon after starting to hang around here, but I have a question that Lilypond types are likely to know the answer to. The problem is that tempo instructions in MIDI files are ignored by all the free sequencers I've been able to find for OS X, my working platform. The s
