Hi David,
But it would be great in the future to have more and better
MIDI
support. I no longer regard it as a small feature on the
side, but
something I really need. For now, I will stick to outputting
my New
Complexity School scores - which Dorico has trouble with! :-)
I think an important step in the process would be to make the
MIDI
backend somehow accessible from Scheme. Then the power users
would be
all over it.
Indeed. And a unifying concept covering both grobs and MIDI
objects
(mobs?) might even pave a way to iterative generation of
time-based
MusicXML (xobs?) or Braille (bobs?) or other renditions of the
musical
content.
Mobs... 🤔
Could we get LilyPond to output a Minecraft world populated with
appropriate redstone and noteblocks?
Somehow I’m now imagining a Lilypond Toys Output Module that
builds (literally!) a representation of my score out of Lego,
Meccano, Tinkertoys, Slinky, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, etc,
choosing the materials by some kind of algorithm. And any elements
of a score that involve extra Scheme code or tweaks, it will build
from papier-mâché. Consider it an alternative definition of
“object-oriented”. :)
