Yes, I can confirm that this is the case for my midi files (which are
generated from Lilypond). My CC commands aren’t printed anywhere, but
in the list, the following shows up:
fluidsynth: cc07100
fluidsynth: noteon06490000001.0101.2020.0000
fluidsynth: cc17100
fluidsynth: noteon16490000011.0101.2030.0001
fluidsynth: cc27100
fluidsynth: noteon26090000021.0101.2030.0002
fluidsynth: cc37100
fluidsynth: noteon35790000031.0101.2030.0003
So, yes.
Is there any way for me to suppress these commands or to make my own
commands from the init file appear directly after them (but before the
first notes are played)?
