Finally, can you confirm that the string "Going back in MIDI time" is
not present in the .pot file? Why?

I understand that your query about the pot file is a non-bug because
such messages are not translated. So, no bug to report there.

While it is true that "programming error" messages are not translated,
they are produced for situations indicating, well, a programming error,
as feedback for LilyPond developers that something in LilyPond is wrong.

Now in this case, nothing in LilyPond is wrong, but rather in the user
input, as the user asks for something that does not fit into Midi.  And
the user input is not juggling around with LilyPond internals in an
unexpected way, making it become internally inconsistent.

As a result, a user-comprehensible _warning_ should be produced instead,
and "user-comprehensible" then also would imply that it is being marked
for translation.


Should this be added to issue 1412?
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1412

It's not clear to me what that issue is really about (title is too generic).
