I'm working on an arrangement fordable-reed quartet. Here's the score block:
\score
{
\new StaffGroup
<<
\new Staff = "oboe1" \with { instrumentName = "oboe1" midiInstrument =
"oboe" }
{ \clef "treble" \soprano }
\new Staff = "oboe2" \with { instrumentName = "oboe2" midiInstrument =
"oboe" }
{ \clef "treble" \alto }
\new Staff = "EngHrn" \with { instrumentName = "enghrn" midiInstrument =
"english horn" } %"english horn"
{ \clef "treble" \transpose f c \tenor } %the correct
transposition for EH sounds terrible
% { \clef "treble" \transpose c c, \tenor } % temporarily down one
octave; sounds fine
\new Staff = "bassoon" \with { instrumentName = "bassoon" midiInstrument =
"bassoon" }
{ \clef "bass" \bass }
>>
\layout { \context { \Staff \consists "Ambitus_engraver" } }
\midi { \tempo 4 = 80 }
}
If I make it with the English horn part correctly transposed, the MIDI sounds
terrible. If I make it with the English horn part untransposed, it sounds fine.
My conclusion is that the midiInstrument "english horn" reads its part in C
rather than in F. Shouldn't it play the notes that a real English horn would?
thanks
