The value in the LilyPond MIDI instrument directive is
"Nylon-str.Guita"
as you can see if you do Staffs/Voices->Staff Properties->Edit Staff
Properties and then choose the Advanced button on the MIDI Instrument
directive. This value comes from the soundfont we package by default
A320U.sf2 but that doesn't match the list given in
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/midi-instruments
which has
"acoustic guitar (nylon)"
When I listen in Playback View only the "acoustic guitar (nylon)" gives
the correct sound (program 25). Consulting the standard
http://www.midi.org/techspecs/gm1sound.php
I see that "acoustic guitar (nylon)" is the correct name for program 25.
The internally generated MIDI is correct regardless, because it consults
the program number (25) and ignores the name, but LilyPond is given only
the name and so reverts to program 0 for this staff.
It would seem that A320U.sf2 is defective for our purposes, since it has
the GM instruments but with non-GM names. (Or conceivably it is our
routine for accessing the names, I haven't probed in detail).
The best thing would be to edit A320.sf2 to generate the correct names,
or find a soundfont that has them (and is un-encumbered for
distribution).
Richard
I can edit the sf2 file to have the correct names. I will do that tonight.Jeremiah>
