Yes, I use Frescobaldi to generate the MIDI, and I use Windows Media
Player to listen to the midi file.
This is the process:
- I open the .ly with Frescobaldi
- Crtl + M to generate the pdf (music sheet) and the MIDI file
- I listen to the midi file with WMP
- I close WMP
- I modify the .ly file inside Frecobaldi (for instance, I add another note)
- Press Crtl+M
- The midi file is not overwritten
So... I close Frescobaldi, delete the midi file and reopen the .ly file.
Then I press Crtl+M and then a new midi file is generated. I'd rather
not having to close Frecobaldi to generate a new midi, makes my work slower.
Any ideas?
I know the problem is now solved, but there is a reason worth knowing,
why this did now work before.
If you don't have the option 'Save document if possible' in LilyPond
settings, and you press Ctrl+M on a modified document, or on a new
document you have not saved yet, then lilypond is run on a temporary file.
That's why the MIDI file is not overwritten.
Please set the option to always save, of get used to the key sequence
Ctrl+S,Ctrl+M every time.
