Comment #25 on issue 3878 by address@hidden: MIDI lyrics start at 0 even when
music doesn't
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3878
Regarding comment #23: after rereading the code, I tend to agree. There
are a few things I can think of worth double-checking:
a) if the beginning does not evaluate to an exact time tick, can rounding
etc lead to a situation where we still generate material before start_tick?
b) if there is a basically content-less Staff, does it not mess up the
start-time calculation?
c) does this work with skipTypeSetting and its ilk?
Regarding midiOffset: it is an additional feature that pins down the Midi
start time: no second-guessing or fiddling to make things match. That's
not just "saving a little effort", it is creating a well-defined Midi
timing instead of an implicit one. That's important for synchronizing Midi
in any manner with different material.
I don't see that it makes for complexity, either: if it is set, the
starting tick calculation just takes that value. As I said: that is an
independent issue and can be done independently (and the name "midiOffset"
is not appealing to me as well, particularly not so if we otherwise may
have a non-zero value automatically. Perhaps "midiStart"?). The point of
that is that we have a "good and convenient" default and an "exact and
predictable but pedantic" override. Since we don't get to have both at the
same time, having the latter as an option sounds reasonable to me.
Even though countdowns/etc should allow this issue for making it into
master before the next unstable release, I lean towards committing the
revert first and then base the patch (basically #1 apart from not including
the revert) towards the result: the implementation is basically independent
from the previous faulty one.
Ok?
