Re: Control MIDI channels

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that the only way you can influence the channel numbers is by the
order you specify the different staves/lyric lines/chord names. Can you
figure out what ends up on channels 1-3, maybe lyrics? It that's the case,
you could try to specify them in another order in your \score{...} block,
either by using a separate \score{...} block for the MIDI output or by
using \set Staff.alignAboveContext = ... to get the correct vertical order
in the printed output.

Send a small but complete example to the mailing list if you need more
specific instructions.
