Re: Is it possible to import scores generated by Lilypond to other softwares?

[Andrew Bernard]

Hello Parviz,

Well I would not expect Frescobaldi to be a serious tool for MIDI
work. Lilypond does a reasonable job of generating MIDI files. which
can then be used in your chosen DAW with VST instruments of your
choice. I get lilypond to compile MIDI for my piano scores, I import
the MIDI into FL Studio or Presonus Studio One, assign the tracks to
the very fine concert grand piano VST's that I have, and I can produce
audio output that is lush and full and altogether very splendid, to
the point you would think a human pianist is performing. Using basic
general MIDI environments will produce a miserable result.

You can search the user list archives and the Notation Reference for
limitations making MIDI, such as fermatas being ignored, but there are
techniques and workarounds for most of these points.

No DAW can read lilypond source code (OK, maybe there are one or two),
but any professional DAW will read MIDI and allow you to play it.

I think there are many more people on the list using lilypond for MIDI
who would also be happy to guide you with their experience.

Andrew
