midi-kbd.el only translates Midi input into Emacs events. Without any keybindings on those events, it is useless. > so I listed the packages available and went to install it.

Maybe it uses a different mirror for Emacs packages or something? midi-kbd is brand-new in ELPA.

The current version of lily-midi.el which I still need to fold into the LilyPond repository does not do so either. > The minor disadvantage is that you have to proofread carefully, > because it's likely to decide that your F#'s are Gb's, or worse, that > your A's are G##'s. lily-midi.el converts the Midi events according to a "current key". If that key is C major, notes are C C# D Eb E F F# G G# A Bb B which tries to cover at least melodic A minor. The scales it stops working with are melodic E minor (Eb instead of D#) and Eb major (G# instead of Ab). If you set your current key differently, this scale is transposed correspondingly. The current functionality allows splitting according to Midi channels (well, I have a Midi accordion) and works reasonably well for entering whole chords. It does not try guessing note durations. And it's nederlands-only right now with regard to note input language. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
