#### 10.3.2 MIDI block

The MIDI block is analogous to the layout block, but it is somewhat simpler. The `\midi` block is similar to `\layout`. It can contain context definitions.

Context definitions follow precisely the same syntax as within the \layout block. Translation modules for sound are called performers. The contexts for MIDI output are defined in `ly/performer-init.ly`.
