I've recently been using lilypond with articulate.ly to produce midi

Another example is that you could indicate "tempo rubato" and then
specify as interpretation one of the many possible actual tempo(s) that
would be used for rendering the MIDI.
If I may chime in with my opinion on this: there may be some point in
translating articulations into midi, but tempo rubato is in itself meant
to be subjective and thus marks the point where a human performer cannot
and must not be replaced by a machine. Thus I find the sketched approach
more than a little absurd, if you permit the remark. It’s neither
possible, nor rewarding, nor even desirable to substitute real music
making by electronic simulation, (at least for most kinds of music, and
certainly every music which can be reasonably typeset with lilypond
belongs in this category).
Yours, Simon
