lilypondfiletools.MIDIBlock

class abjad.tools.lilypondfiletools.MIDIBlock.MIDIBlock.MIDIBlock

New in version 2.0.

Abjad model of LilyPond input file MIDI block:

abjad> staff = Staff("c'4 d'4 e'4 f'4")
abjad> score = Score([staff])
abjad> lilypond_file = lilypondfiletools.make_basic_lilypond_file(score)

abjad> lilypond_file.score_block.append(lilypondfiletools.MIDIBlock())

abjad> layout_block = lilypondfiletools.LayoutBlock()
abjad> layout_block.is_formatted_when_empty = True
abjad> lilypond_file.score_block.append(layout_block)

abjad> f(lilypond_file.score_block)
\score {
    \new Score <<
        \new Staff {
            c'4
            d'4
            e'4
            f'4
        }
    >>
    \midi {}
    \layout {}
}

MIDI blocks are formatted even when they are empty.

The example here appends MIDI and layout blocks to a score block. Doing this allows LilyPond to create both MIDI and PDF output from a single input file.

Read the LilyPond docs on LilyPond file structure for the details as to why this is the case.
