Huh.  I just committed midi-kbd.el to ELPA, the official Emacs package
archive.  And I wanted to add the corresponding functionality to
LilyPond-mode next so that one can enter pitches and chords into Emacs
via MIDI.

But it should be mostly inconspicuous if you don't use it.

But at any rate: the indentation and highlighting of LilyPond-mode is
not at the standards of Emacs.  That requires a lot of love to bring up
to par.  As do entry and navigation methods.
