It isn't necessary in LP 2.10 and as far as I can remember it was not 
necessary in 2.8 either.

No, this syntax can no longer be used in the \midi{...} block
in version 2.10 or later.

Please Trevor, when you answer questions on the mailing list and
base your answers on your experience with version 2.8, please make
this very clear, since there are a number of differences between
2.8 and the latest stable.

OK, I spent one minute to test it, and at least with my MIDI player, 
the setting within the music overrides the global setting, which was 
what I suspected.
