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:

The Sequence Editor is where you get to say which phrases to glue together, along with a lot of other stuff. Cheers Cam On 2020-04-07 7:14 p.m., cgilmore wrote:
That's so interesting. Is there something about the functionality of how Lilypond creates MIDI that makes it ideal for this situation? -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html
