Re: tag - midi

[Flaming Hakama by Elaine]

Bart,

I did some experimentation with the \tag command. It is great for different editions of printed music of course, but I tried it in the midi block without luck.

I'm trying to create some music dictation exercises and want to separate the midi file for the student in parts of each 2 bars, so I enclosed each two bars in separate tags, like this: 

\tag #'A {c'2 | g |} \tag #'B {e'4 d | c2 }|

hoping it would work if I'd write something like this int he midi block: 

\midi { \keepWithTag #'A \altoVoice }

But no luck.. is it a bug, or simply not implemented (which is my guess)? 

And is there a possible solution to get the wanted result?

thx,

Bart

Tags work in midi. 

Could you please explain what you mean by "I' ... want to separate the midi file for the student in parts of each 2 bars"?

Do you want one midi file with 2 voices, or 2 midi files each with one voice?

If you could supply a more complete example to demonstrate your intent (even if it isn't working), that might help.

Thanks,

David Elaine Alt
