dear composers and programmers,
i need more functions for midi with lilypond. i know - lilypond is NOT a
sequencer, but i try to tell you, what i want (and i read this wish in a forum,
too)
i work often with the linuxsampler, frescobaldi, lilypond and jack. for my
first piano concert i need more samples than 15. i try to explain with an
example:
on midi-channel 12 there is the violin. in the linuxsampler is loaded the sound
for violin-sustain. this is ok for the first 4 measures. but then, i need
staccato-violins. and later some other articulations of the violins. i can load
all these sounds into the linuxsampler, but i am running out of
midi-channels.
now my suggestion:
create one command, that can not only change the instrument name. create a
command, that tells every staff (or even every voice) to change the midi
channel AND the port. perhaps it can work as follows:
linuxsampler (1) on port 128:0 with all sustain-sounds
linuxsampler (2) on port 129:0 with all staccato-sounds
linuxsampler (3) on port 130:0 with all solo-sounds
perhaps the command can look like this:
c4 d e f\midiChannelPort #12 #128
g a h c\midiChannelPort #12 #129
so you can change each channel with additional the port. so, the number of
midi-channels are no problem any more!
AND: with this feature lilypond goes into the future. so, lilypond will have a
GREAT functionality like rosegarden.

PS Lilypond is very, very great! i love to write my music with it.
