Yes, it says 1. My laptop has 2 processors, but I suppose the virtual 
machine can't take advantage of them.

This is a good point. I'll leave it as is but make a note in the 
comments that MIDI is only output on the "movements" target.

Ok I think this makefile and the linux version are about ready for the 
docs.  Trevor, do you think it's logical to put this topic in the 
vicinity of "Score and Parts" or handling large projects?  For the 
moment I'll just write the texinfo source for this as a standalone 
section so that we can plug it in wherever it seems most appropriate.
