What is the advantage of using "\makeOctaves" wrt having two
"\dronify"?

Hi Gilles,

You're welcome.  There's no real advantage to using \makeOctaves, just a
matter of preference on how you want to set it up.  Nothing wrong with
having two \dronify staves or voices.

OK. Thanks.


It's working for me here with simple examples like the following, both
visually and in midi output, and in 2.18.2 and 2.19.18. Can you give a tiny
example showing the sound being cut after every bar?

It happens when you use bar checks!
This is astounding, since bar checks should have no influence on output at all. If you can confirm this with a minimal example, it should be worth a bug report IMO.
The sound is continuous without them but it would be quite annoying to
encode without their help for spotting mistakes... [I use version 2.18.2.]

In addition, the midi volume and instrument used for the drone must be
different from that of the main melody (in order not to overwhelm the
melody lines).  I've been playing a little with your function but I only
ended up being able to change all the voices at the same time. :-{
In short, those lines
   \set midiInstrument = "accordion"
   \set midiMinimumVolume = #0.2
   \set midiMaximumVolume = #0.3
should be inserted in the drone "Voice".
You’ll want to move "Staff_performer", see the snippet in <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/creating-midi-files>.

HTH, Simon
