Re: Midi Instrument: change?

[Guy Stalnaker]

See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/midi-channel-mapping

Where the method is shown. Basically, you put the instrument into the Voice context:

%%% Code

  \midi {
    \context {
      \Staff
      \remove "Staff_performer"
    }
    \context {
      \Voice
      \consists "Staff_performer"
    }

%%% Code

You'll see how it works. I do this all the time.

Hi all,

Is it possible to change the midi-instrument in the middle of a part? This is particularly useful for strings voices which do occasional pizzicato sections. It seems awfully cumbersome to write a whole part just for 5 or 6 measures of pizzicato. How would the change (and the change back) be coded?

Thanks in advance,

Jerry
