You say "for now" above, so is allowing Scheme to interact directly with 
the MIDI stream something that is planned?  Between what you have just 
shown and the work that already occurs in articulate.ly, it seems a lot 
of practical manipulation is possible without going down to the MIDI 
layer.  So, your little patch to enable wider use of Scheme translators 
seems quite useful.  At the very least, the more folks build on this and 
start playing around with the music, the more we would understand what a 
potential full Scheme performer support would entail.
