Re: Ties between measures not rendered in MIDI

[Mats Bengtsson]

I tried your example with both version 2.10 and 2.12 of LilyPond and I 
clearly hear the ties in the output. You can also verify this fact by 
running midi2ly on the generated MIDI file. For example, the beginning 
of the melody in the resulting .ly file is:
trackCchannelB = \relative c {
 b'8 c f gis a f d f4 d8 f s4 f d8 |
whereas it would have been
trackCchannelB = \relative c {
 b'8 c f gis a f d f f d f s4 f d8 |
without the tie.
