		<title>Jean Abou Samra: Import snippet from LSR</title>

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Import snippet from LSR&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;When using a &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;\new Chordnames {}&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; section, chords will be included in MIDI output. When chord names are only included to ease reading but should not sound, possibly because they are already included in the score, this is a problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sound can be changed using &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;\set Chordnames.midiInstrument = &amp;amp;quot;(whatever)&amp;amp;quot;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, but cannot be removed by using a non-existent instrument: Lilypond will default to &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;acoustic grand&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; in such a case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The solution is to act at the MIDI level instead of the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;Chordnames&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;: remove the MIDI performer used for that specific voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the working part of the snippet is not visible in the generated score. This is as should be, since this is only about MIDI behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
\score {&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
  \new ChordNames {&lt;br /&gt;
    \chordmode {&lt;br /&gt;

    }&lt;br /&gt;
