It would be so nifty if the following snippet produced equivalent output
in the midi file to what is produced in the pdf:
\version "2.19.38"
musicA = \relative {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "A"
\repeat volta 2 {
c''4 d e f
}
f d e c
\bar "|."
}
musicB = \relative {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "B"
c''4 d e f
f d e c
}
\score { <<
\new Staff \musicA
\new Staff \musicB
>>
\layout {}
}
\score {
\unfoldRepeats
<<
\new Staff \musicA
\new Staff \musicB
>>
\layout {}
\midi { }
}
This would greatly simplify the production of pieces with many parallel
staves.
Should this work? Is it documented that it doesn't work? Why does it
work in the pdf output? Is this a bug of \unfoldRepeats? There are
several warnings about the use of \unfoldRepeats in the Notation Manual,
but none of them seem to apply to my snippet.
Output from the above snippet:
