Re: midi output goes silent when appoggiatura has crescendo (lilypond 2.8.1)

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you search the mailing list archives, you will learn that this
is an old well-known bug which has nothing to do with appoggiaturas. 
The problem is that you have a crescendo in a voice where you have not 
earlier specified any absolute dynamics, such as a \f or \p or
whatever. Then, LilyPond doesn't know at what dynamic level to start
the crescendo and for some silly reason the result is silence.
