Hi David,
> There may be incentive to synchronize the contents of those files.
Yes, that’s the part I’m currently most interested in: synchronizing a Lilypond
input file (or set of files) with a DAW file (or set of files) via a MIDI file
(or set of files).
At the very least, I’d like to hear if anyone has worked out (or even
attempted) a workflow like the following:
1. Write a Lilypond input file.
2. Use Lilypond to generate a MIDI file or files (e.g., one per staff or
instrument/staff-group).
3. Load those MIDI file(s) into a DAW.
4. Make edits to the DAW file (e.g., add a tempo track, modify volumes, etc.).
and then [this is the critical part!]
5. Make a change in the Lilypond input file.
6. Use Lilypond to overwrite the associated MIDI files.
7. See the changes reflected instantaneously in the DAW, while affecting
("ruining"/"reverting") the least number of changes made in the DAW in Step #4.
Thanks,
Kieren.
