Re: Your Bespoke Lilypond Environment

[Cam]

Well mostly I was attracted to Lilypond because it supports generation of MIDI files from 
text input, unlike most other programs which are GUI based. For my purposes it's perfect. 
From within my Python program I execute Lilypond to "compile" the source into 
MIDI and engraving, then I fetch the MIDI and the image from the generated files. 
Specifying which MIDI phrases to glue together is a whole other matter, but it all works. 
If you're interested you can see a screenshot of it in action showing the Lilypond source 
and the resulting engraving on the screen here:

What you are seeing in this screenshot is the Phrase Editor which was invoked 
from the Sequence Editor. The Sequence Editor is where you get to say which 
phrases to glue together, along with a lot of other stuff.

Cheers
