You can do this also via the Format/Staff Properties menu. That's what I always use to set the wanted instruments. *But* what I didn't notice until you pointed it out is the possibility to "play transposed". Now I have to find out what values to enter. Unfortunately, I'll have do do this for every score I make :-(. Do you happen to know if the midi-export uses these values also ?
Yes, it does.
Sometimes I want to email a tune, so I use timidity to convert the midi to wav/mp3 (is it possible do do this with fluidsynth ? Didn't find out yet). I'll have to try, export and re-import should prove this.
Yes, FluidSynth converts MIDI files to wav and other audio formats, if it was compiled with libsndfile support. openSUSE 11.4 contains the latest FluidSynth release: 1.1.3 To find out the available output formats type this command: $ fluidsynth -T help For instance, to convert in batch mode a MIDI file to wav audio, use a command like this: $ fluidsynth -F music.wav soundfont.sf2 music.mid You will need a good soundfont (sf2). For classic orchestral instruments I like GeneralUser (available in packman repo: http://packman.links2linux.org) and FluidR3 available in Jan Engelhardt's repo: http://jftp.medozas.de).
