I have corroborated that Emacs can open a raw Midi device with make-serial-process and get appropriate input via process sentinels (as long as it is not busy with other tasks). You can get timestamps via (current-time) in microsecond resolution. Maybe one can also do the time stamping via Midi clock. Don't have much of a clue. So you don't need to program Emacs in C: it has what it takes available in Elisp. But that's it. I checked the existing lyqi input mode, and that is written in its own, totally CommonLisp style. Can't wrap my head around that. A smart LilyPond mode of its own should be likely written using CEDET, but that _still_ does not have its parser generators in Emacs, and juggling with additional repositories would just take too much time for me. So that's where I am. "Thinking about", checked a few prerequisites, no working code, no proof of concept (except for having checked make-serial-process for being workable on a Midi port), no time. Want to commission something? 2000€, and I expect to be able to sustain myself until a first version is working. Can't afford it? Same here, same here. Try finding enough other people with the same desire. The algorithms (basically Viterbi&Co) might transfer to midi2ly, so if some Python programmer picks up from the code and/or comments (and I am confident to do better than midi2ly, having good signal processing background, and I need to or this will not really fly), there might also be a side benefit. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
