Re: Drums broken in 2.0.1?

[Juergen Reuter]

Hi!

Currently, I don't have time to look further into this, but you may want 
to check

* if your MIDI output device is GM compatible (if it is not older than,
  say, roughly 5 years, than it should be compatible),

* if your MIDI output device is set up to produce drum sounds on channel 
  #10 (such as defined in the GM spec), e.g. by manually creating an 
  appropriate small MIDI file with a MIDI sequencer or playing an existing 
  MIDI file that you a sure of that it emits drum sounds to channel #10,

* if lily really outputs the MIDI drum notes to channel #10; you can check
  this e.g. by loading the MIDI file into a MIDI sequencer software and
  have a look at what the sequencer displays.

Greetings,
Juergen
