Re: Removing a MIDI track

[José Luis Cruz]

There's a simpler -and better- way to do this.

Just have 2 score blocks, one with paper output and the other with
only midi output. Don't include the chord track in the score with midi
output. And that's all.


\score {
<<      
    \chords
    \melody
>>
    \paper {
        \translator { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }
    }
}

\score{
    \melody

    \midi { \tempo 4=120 }
}
