Huh? That has nothing to do with WYSIWYG. It has to do with Midi input. And I certainly would prefer LilyPond in such a workflow since, as opposed to WYSIWYG, I have a chance to see what actually ended up in my score as opposed to what appears like that. The currently available tools for Midi input into LilyPond leave a lot to be desired, no question about that. Try Rosegarden for a somewhat better quantization with export into LilyPond. But that's not exactly an interactive workflow. At some point of time, I plan to do an Emacs extension that works more seriously than existing possibilities.

There is a section in the manual about Midi input tools if I remember correctly. Most are not really fun to work with. I'd guess that something like Rosegarden is your best bet currently. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
