Tuning with --freq-table

[anisometropie]

Hello,

I'm using this command to start a timidity server.
timidity -iA -B2,8 -Z /etc/timidity/temperament.egal -Os -EFreverb=0&

i'm using the option -Z /etc/timidity/temperament.egal because I want to set the A to 442hz, and still the have the equal temperament.

but this option only works when I use the command myself in bash.
I want this option to be used every times, even when I start my computer.

so I added this line to /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg :

# Instrument configuration file for timidity
# $Id: timidity.cfg,v 1.7 2005/09/03 19:26:03 hmh Exp $
[...]
#opt s32kHz             #default sample frequency to 32kHz
#opt fast-decay         #fast decay notes
opt freq-table=/etc/timidity/temperament.egal

but this is not working.
Any idea why?

thanks in advance.

Try "#extension opt", and include the dashes before the arguments:

#extension opt -B 2,8
#extension opt -EFreverb=0
#extension opt -s 32000
#extension opt --fast-decay
#extension opt --freq-table=/etc/timidity/temperament.egal

Try "#extension opt", and include the dashes before the arguments:

#extension opt -B 2,8
#extension opt -EFreverb=0
#extension opt -s 32000
#extension opt --fast-decay
#extension opt --freq-table=/etc/timidity/temperament.egal

If i add the sharp #, it will comment the line.
I've tried without and I get a syntax error for those lines :

extension opt -iA
extension opt -B2,8
extension opt -Z /etc/timidity/temperament.egal
extension opt -Os -EFreverb=0&

I googled for a man page and pulled up the following:

>>BEGIN QUOTE
   #extension opt [-]{option} [optarg]
          Sets the value of boot-time options.

   ...

   These  "#extension" statements are beginning with character '#' that is
   the comment flag of old TiMidity(version 0.2i or  earlier).   So
   these statememts are treated as comment line.
   The latest TiMidity treats "#extension" as white-space. So you can
   omit it.
<<END_QUOTE

So, #extension is treated as a special case and not treated as a comment.
It also looks like you can simply omit the #extension and use "opt" by
itself like you were originally doing (but don't forget to prefix the
options with their - signs).  I've always used the #extension lines, but
it looks like either way should work from the documentation.
