where goes \midi {}

[yota ()]

hello everybody,

I read the manual thoroughly (twice) and yet.
To do it beautifully I used \new Score, Staff, Voice stuffs, the problem came with \with :) , the corollary was I could not found any example fitting my case.
So I tried to put \midi{} it everywhere.... and failed

here is the file...

please mark an 'X' where I could insert my \midi {} to get the expected result :)

Thank you m(_ _)m

                        \override VerticalAlignment #'max-stretch = #ly:align-interface::calc-max-stretch

found ... in doc

MIDI output is created only when a \midi block is included within a score block defined with a \score command. If it is placed within an explicitly instantiated score context (i.e. within a \new Score block) the file will fail. To solve this, enclose the \new Score and the \midi commands in a \score block.

    \score {
      \new Score { …notes… }
      \midi { }
    }


which is pretty dirty :)
