Yes,

(d-DirectivePut-movementcontrol-postfix "MIDI" "\\midi {}")

(d-DirectivePut-movementcontrol-override "MIDI"  DENEMO_OVERRIDE_AFFIX)

(d-SetSaved #f)

will do that. I think the resultant LilyPond generated MIDI file will

be written to a temp directory, which on Windows is somewhere under

AppData in your home directory (IIRC). It may be better to get the

Playback View open and typeset there (which creates LilyPond-generated

MIDI) and the use Export->MIDI to get it to a file.

Great info. It was a more pressing matter before you got 'quick lilypond export' working for me again, yet this will still be useful. The export midi may come in real handy. Again, nothing against Denemos' playback (will still be using that), I just need some more subtle tweaks in certain places.

Ultimately, it is more about getting a score produced, and being able to hear the dynamics changes more realistically would help with the writing process.

Many thanks for your help with these matters and I wouldn't be surprised if there is another email to reply too that has more useful tidbits!
