You could use it to autogenerate a basso continuo part.

It already emitts MIDI.

I will look into this idea and see how much more/less work it would  
take.

I was actually creating an "import strategy" for midi that appended  
the parts onto new tracks rather then replaced the score. In the next  
release importmidi is going to require some sort of GUI anyway. The  
GUI is going to allow for changing the quantization settings and  
import strategy.

True. But the parts can also be printed and then handed to real  
musicians.
