Lilypond 2.1.27 and MIDI output

[Maurizio Tomasi]

I am using Lilypond 2.1.27 on a Mandrake 9.1 Linux system, and found
some problems with MIDI files.

First of all, the following snippet produces a MIDI file which does
not play using TiMidity++-2.11.3-3mdk and makes KMidi (included with
kdemultimedia-3.1-10mdk) crash.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

\score {
   \context Staff {
        \notes\relative bes' {
            | r8 bes c d es!2 ~
            | es8 a, bes c d2 ~
            | d8 g, a bes c2
        }
   }
   \paper { }
   \midi { \tempo 4 = 110 }
}

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you change "Staff" with "PianoStaff", the file plays both with
Timidity and KMidi, but it does not perform ties at all:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
\score {
   \context PianoStaff {
        \notes\relative bes' {
            | r8 bes c d es!2 ~
            | es8 a, bes c d2 ~
            | d8 g, a bes c2
        }
   }
   \paper { }
   \midi { \tempo 4 = 110 }
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Regards,
 Maurizio.
