Re: Is there a way to set the midiInstrument for ChordNames with FretBoards?

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hi,
I’d suggest to use two different \score s, one for \layout and the other 
for \midi, then you can setup them differently.
I attached my own template – you can’t use it directly, since I left out 
the file with my settings, and you probably don’t want that German 
stuff, but you get an idea about the structure.
