Re: Two output questions

[Ole Schmidt]

Manual (searching for MIDI):

10.3.1 Creating MIDI files

To create a MIDI from a music piece of music, add a \midi block to a  
score, for example,
\score {
...music...
\midi { }
}


so you have to create a \score { } block around your music...

if it do not work post your code (or a small representative snippet  
of it) to the mailing list including the \version you are using...


hope that helps
