Horn Concerto No. 1 (Strauss)

$\relative c'' { \key bes \major { \set Staff.midiInstrument = "french horn" \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Corno in Fa" \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 112 r2 \fermata r4 bes8. \f _"energico" d16 f2. \breathe d8. g16 f4 d8. bes16 f4 \breathe bes8. d16 c4 bes8. f16 d4 \breathe bes8. g'16 f2 f,2 }}$

Uncommented instrumentName

$\relative c'' { \key bes \major { \set Staff.midiInstrument = "french horn" \set Staff.instrumentName = "Corno in Fa" \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 112 r2 \fermata r4 bes8. \f _"energico" d16 f2. \breathe d8. g16 f4 d8. bes16 f4 \breathe bes8. d16 c4 bes8. f16 d4 \breathe bes8. g'16 f2 f,2 }}$

I think that the instrument name has been right-justified and truncated on the left.

Line break in instrument name

Try splitting the instrument name into two lines. Based on http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-parts

$\relative c'' { \key bes \major { \set Staff.midiInstrument = "french horn" \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \column { "Corno" \line { "in Fa"} } } \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 112 r2 \fermata r4 bes8. \f _"energico" d16 f2. \breathe d8. g16 f4 d8. bes16 f4 \breathe bes8. d16 c4 bes8. f16 d4 \breathe bes8. g'16 f2 f,2 }}$

This is better, but there is not enough space for 'Corno'.

Shorter instrument name

Try 'Horn', which is shorter.

$\relative c'' { \key bes \major { \set Staff.midiInstrument = "french horn" \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \column { "Horn" \line { "in Fa"} } } \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 112 r2 \fermata r4 bes8. \f _"energico" d16 f2. \breathe d8. g16 f4 d8. bes16 f4 \breathe bes8. d16 c4 bes8. f16 d4 \breathe bes8. g'16 f2 f,2 }}$

This is better, but perhaps we should give the instrument key in English note letter notation instead of solfège (I'm not sure of the equivalent for Fa).

Transposing

Now try transposing using 'transpose'. This is based on http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/changing-multiple-pitches

$\transpose bes c' { \relative c'' { \key bes \major { \set Staff.midiInstrument = "french horn" \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \column { "Horn" \line { "in Fa"} } } \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 112 r2 \fermata r4 bes8. \f _"energico" d16 f2. \breathe d8. g16 f4 d8. bes16 f4 \breathe bes8. d16 c4 bes8. f16 d4 \breathe bes8. g'16 f2 f,2 }}}$

This transposes both the printed and the MIDI output. I haven't worked out how to transpose these independently.

Hide the metronome marking

If the metronome marking was not set by the composer then we should not display it. We can keep it as a hidden instruction to the MIDI player by using 'tempoHideNote'.

$\relative c'' { \key bes \major { \set Staff.midiInstrument = "french horn" \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \column { "Horn" \line { "in Fa"} } } \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 112 \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t r2 \fermata r4 bes8. \f _"energico" d16 f2. \breathe d8. g16 f4 d8. bes16 f4 \breathe bes8. d16 c4 bes8. f16 d4 \breathe bes8. g'16 f2 f,2 }}$

trying to get the MIDI to work

LilyPond did not produce any output file. Please check your score code.
