i'm trying my hand at finally using the midi output of lilypond to
audition my scores (instead of relying on my horrid piano playing).
after a bit of messing around, and a while looking through the docs,
i'm a bit stumped as to what to try next. i've defined instruments
for example:
tenorsax = \transpose c d' \relative c {
% tenor notes (in concert pitch)
}
tenorsaxone = {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Tenor"
\set midiInstrument = #"tenor sax"
\clef treble
<<
\tenorsax
>>
}
and yet i can't get the midi playback to play the concert pitches,
only the transposed notes (sounds as written). i'm sure i'm using the
\transpose command wrong, but i don't know how. any help?
thanks in advance,
bernie
