Frederico,
I am very interested in this question, too.
In theory, you could do the following:
Get a DAW like Logic that does audio => midi conversion
1. Record your singing to an audio track in your DAW
2. Convert the audio to midi. There are settings or features to figure
out the tempo, and quantize rhythmic values (specifying the smallest
rhythmical unit, so you don't end up with random 32nd and 64th note values
for things you sang with rhythmic embellishment.)
3. Export a midi file
4. Then, you can theoretically convert that midi file in to lilypond
using midi2ly
I was hoping someone could comment on the status of midi2ly, since I am
still unable to use it on mac OSX 10.8.5 / Lilypond 2.18.2 with a "wrong
architecture" error:
$ midi2ly -v
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/midi2ly", line
54, in <module>
import midi
ImportError:
dlopen(/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lilypond/current/python/midi.so,
2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lilypond/current/python/midi.so:
mach-o, but wrong architecture
But, I am under the impression that midi2ly does actually work on non-mac
platforms, or older mac platforms.
Regarding spending money, Logic costs about $200. There are lots of other
DAWs out there that do audio recording and audio => midi conversion. Not
sure of any that are free or cheap, but I wouldn't doubt if you could find
one.
