adding `output: {"mid"}' in sal should do this. `output' is a list of filename extensions representing all the types of files you want output (in addition to the filename you specified).<BR>
<BR>
`midi: #t' used to do this (it basically just adds "mid" to the `output' list) but I changed the name of the `output' setting at some point and forgot to change it in grace... so this will get fixed when I make the next release.<BR>
<BR>
midi output should recognize most articulations plus tremolos, trills, harmonics... but it will probably need some adjusting until it sounds right (ie. accents have the right emphasis, staccato notes are the right duration, etc..) It will also use up a lot of tracks (a separate track for each voice) and will specify extra ports in the midi file if it has to, so if you have a lot of parts and voices (or quartertones) you need a midi player that recognizes the additional ports<BR>
