LilyPond does not use Midi as a storage format but as an output format, just like PDF is an output format. The salient point of having a Midi backend is not to store information but to pass it on. Without a large body of soft- and hardware able to process the resulting OSC files, this is a pretty pointless exercise. MusicXML export would likely be quite more useful for letting LilyPond interface with other applications while preserving more information about the original input. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
