(This is in Ubuntu 8.10 linux.) I can use midi-input-mode in emacs to enter lilypond notes with my left hand, and the durations on the numeric keypad with my right hand.
I can set up qsynth with jackd so that I get audio for the notes I play on the MIDI keyboard. But if I have the notes set up to sound, they don't get into the emacs buffer, and vice versa. I have done some playing with qjackctl and midi-thru and such, and have not stumbled on a solution that would allow me to both see the lilypond in the emacs buffer and hear the notes I play. Can anyone give me a hint? I know there are several other ways to use a MIDI keyboard for lilypond input; I have tried some of the others, and this was the first one I managed to get working. If nobody knows the answer to this specific question, but does have some other way to use a MIDI keyboard to both see lilypond and hear audio output, I'd be glad to hear about specifics. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 I had to breathe more frequently (but take smaller breaths), but also to use all the air I had in reserve, and not mistake the lack of oxygen for the need to breathe.
