Thank you, Michael.  I posted your patch on the Reitveld  
compare-and-comment system,
http://codereview.appspot.com/4520050/
Comments made there will be copied to the lilypond-devel mailing list.

Looking at the email history you linked to, I think Mats missed your point  
that under the old behavior, two flutes playing the same note sometimes  
resulted in silence.  I do not think anyone desires that behavior!   
Nevertheless, I'll try within the next couple days to add on to your patch  
a new property (alongside midiInstrument, midiMinimumVolume, etc.) that  
would allow users to choose the old behavior.
