I've sometimes gotten good use out of LilyPond code from others on the
list, that splits chords into separate voices so that I can then put them
in separate MIDI channels, both to allow separate pitch bend for
microtonal pitch and to allow recording on a monophonic synthesizer.  A
couple of threads about it:

   https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2023-05/msg00274.html

It's advisable to read the entire threads, because there are multiple
solutions proposed and errors corrected, with varying advantages and
disadvantages.
