Re: MIDI interface (feature request)

[Mats Bengtsson]

One technical problem of such a general feature, is that some MIDI 
commands that are intended to apply to all MIDI tracks should be 
inserted in track 0, whereas other MIDI commands (that contain a channel 
number) should be inserted in the same track as the corresponding music. 
Another complication (at least conceptually) is the different concepts 
used in LilyPond and MIDI and how they are mapped to each other. By 
default, MIDI channels correspond to Staff contexts in LilyPond, but 
this can be changed by redefining the context definitions in LilyPond. A 
final complication is the lack of standardization of MIDI.

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2003-10/msg00069.html 
for some related information.
