I was hoping to combine lilypond with this on the command

cat mysong.ly | lilypond - | velchanger | mysong.midi
Anybody have any ideas how I can accomplish that in a single
command? My cycle is
edit,convert-to-midi,listen-in-garage-band, and I'm trying
to get it down to as few steps as possible to go from the
edit to hearing it
and Graham Percival replied
Write a shell script:
----- songtomidi.sh
#!/bin/sh
FILE="$(basename -s ly $1 )"
lilypond ${FILE}.ly
velchanger ${FILE}.midi
... etc
Thanks, Graham,
I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't think to do that. That will
solve the problem.
Pondering.... The lilypond doc (for 2.8.8) suggests that there are
certain extensions a user can make by including some scheme code in
her .ly file (at least that's my understanding of what I read). Is
control of midi note velocity something I could accomplish that way?
I have snooped through the lilypond source code (2.9.29) and I see all
notes have velocity=127 (called dynamic_byte_) assigned in the
constructor and it appears they are never altered. But I wonder if
note objects are something I can modify using a scheme extension. Is
it possible? Are there examples of what sort things can be done with
extensions?
