Node:MIDI block, Next:MIDI instrument names, Up:Sound
MIDI block
The MIDI block is analogous to the paper block, but it is somewhat
simpler. The \midi block can contain:
- a
\tempodefinition - context definitions
Assignments in the \midi block are not allowed.
Context definitions follow precisely the same syntax as within the
\paper block. Translation modules for sound are called performers.
The contexts for MIDI output are defined in ly/performer.ly.
