Re: accordion, single note for chords, midi

[Gianmaria Lari]

Ciao Thomas 

[How can I make lilypond display single note in the score but generate chords in the midi file?]

Maybe:

\version "2.19.36"

m = \chordmode { c4 d:m e:m7 }

\score {
  \new Staff $(event-chord-reduce m)
}

\score {
  \new Staff \m
  \midi {}
}

this does not work on my pc (with lilypond 2.19.39), but it works if I change the order of the score block like this:

\version "2.19.36"

m = \chordmode { c4 d:m e:m7 }

\score {

  \new Staff \m

  \midi {}

}

\score {

  \new Staff $(event-chord-reduce m)

}

Obviously now I have to understand what's $(event-chord-reduce m) does but this is another story!

Thank you Thomas!

Also thank you to Simon, your idea is very clear and very neat, I will try it.
