Re: MIDI Program Change and Control Change messages

[John Whitmore]

I didn't see what I'm looking for in there. Maybe this ain't music notation, but what I'm trying to notate is that I have a synth with a built in sequencer which has a number of patterns you save to and select to during play back. The patterns are in a number of banks, each containing a number of patterns. So I'm thinking of nothing something to the effect that on the 4th bar Synth_1 plays the pattern in Bank 1 pattern 4.

I guess that's not really standard music notation

Hello all, just discovered LilyPond and finding my feet.

I'm trying to find a way to notate MIDI messages in the music score, is that possible, in a standard way, or do people just add comments to the score?

Hi John,

did you already spot https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/supported-notation-for-midi?

Midi program change would mean setting the midi instrument if I'm not mistaken on its meaning
