Hi David,
But it would be great in the future to have more and better MIDI
support. I no longer regard it as a small feature on the side, but
something I really need. For now, I will stick to outputting my New
Complexity School scores - which Dorico has trouble with! :-)
I think an important step in the process would be to make the MIDI
backend somehow accessible from Scheme. Then the power users would
be
all over it.
Indeed. And a unifying concept covering both grobs and MIDI objects
(mobs?) might even pave a way to iterative generation of time-based
MusicXML (xobs?) or Braille (bobs?) or other renditions of the
musical
content.
Mobs... 🤔
Could we get LilyPond to output a Minecraft world populated with
appropriate redstone and noteblocks?
Somehow I’m now imagining a Lilypond Toys Output Module that builds
(literally!) a representation of my score out of Lego, Meccano,
Tinkertoys, Slinky, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, etc, choosing the
materials by some kind of algorithm. And any elements of a score that
involve extra Scheme code or tweaks, it will build from papier-mâché.
Consider it an alternative definition of “object-oriented”. :)
