The MIDI block is analogous to the paper block, but it is somewhat
simpler. The \midi
block can contain:
\tempo
definition, and
Assignments in the \midi
block are not allowed.
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
\paper block. Translation modules for sound are called performers.
The contexts for MIDI output are defined in ly/performer-init.ly
.
