6.2 MIDI block

The MIDI block is analogous to the layout block, but it is somewhat simpler. The \midi block can contain

A number followed by a period is interpreted as a real number, so for setting the tempo for dotted notes, an extra space should be inserted, for example

\midi { \tempo 4 . = 120 }

Context definitions follow precisely the same syntax as within the \layout block. Translation modules for sound are called performers. The contexts for MIDI output are defined in ly/performer-init.ly.
