Would the bundled VLC be redundant to an existing system install of VLC? Would it be usable instead of a system install? Would the bundled VLC get updates? I normally have VLC installed anyway, but I'd rather not have to keep a separate copy on disk just for Frescobaldi. On Sun, Oct 20, 2019,

Karlin, Yes it can. I use VLC all the time to play midi files on the Choral Public Domain Library :-) But Urs was asking for a commandline tool he can wrap in a Frescobaldi function with possible syntax options. Thus my email with VLC commandline options. On 10/18/2019 3:45 PM, Karlin

The biggest killer-feature for me would be the ability to playback multiple midi files simultaneously in sync (to work around the 16 track limitation). Audio format-wise, I think mp3 is fine. I doubt anyone particularly cares about lossless quality for their general midi soundfont playback. On

Urs, I'm thinking you mean here "Frescobaldi on Linux" right (since you also say fluidsynth)? I use Frescobaldi primarily on Windows. And though one can use Cygwin, etc. to install an app like timidity, Frescobaldi does not "see" it. But I can, and to, have lame installed because I can use

Hi all, I've just started looking into how Frescobaldi provides support for "exporting" scores to audio. Until now this was hardcoded to use TiMidity (and had to be activated as "experimental feature"). I have so far created functionality that * checks whether timidity, fluidsynth and
