Re: midifile output name

[bart deruyter]

Hey,

thanks for the tip, but that won't work I'm afraid :-) . It are short etudes, so i can have several scores, two, three or even four on one page. If I'd use the  \book - technique, each etude would be separated by a page break, which I do  not want. It would be a waste of paper :-).

grtz,

Bart

Hi Bart,

you can try something like

\book {
  \score {
    …
    \midi { … }
  }
  \bookOutputName "andante"
}

for each of the etudes, and one \book{} for all the pdf output.

HTH, Simon

Hi all,

I've got a collection of etudes for my students here, included in one file, to create one pdf.
I've enabled midi, but now I've got a bunch of midi files which all have the name of the lilypond document, like this:

The .ly file with the collection is called "Study collection.ly <http://collection.ly>"
The midi files then are named:
Study collection.midi
Study collection-1.midi
Study collection-2.midi,
etc.. (up to 30 for now).

When I render one etude separately, the midi file gets the name of that separate file (e.g. andante.ly <http://andante.ly> gives andante.midi), but when rendered in the collection file it would be named "Study collection-25.midi" because it is the 25th included file.

All etudes are in separate lilypond files with a "\score", so I was wondering if there is a way to define a custom filename for the midi-file, for each score, which gets passed through to the collection file.

Is this possible?

thx,

Bart
