Areas needing improvement? MIDI, certainly, but what else?
Hm.. It's definitely not my area of expertise, but I don't think it's too difficult to create some mechanism that for each moment outputs the horizontal position and vertical extents of the score. I don't think it would be too difficult to add similar metadata to midi either (except that it probably requires that midi is cleaned up). I guess the most difficult part is to import and combine all lilypond output into a nice gnash animation, and to design that animation. -- Erik _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
