Now that I'm *cough, cough* an expert LilyPond user, I want to explore
something really difficult.
My wife, a voice teacher, suffers from macular degeneration. Before
her vision degrades so much that she can no longer read printed
scores, I'd like to cobble together a system that
* scans piano-vocal sheet music
* creates a LilyPond file
* controls a digital piano with LilyPond's midi output
* displays the score in sync on a tablet at arbitrary magnification
* controls tempi and dynamics by gestures and taps (and/or voice
commands)
* (bonus round) 'listens' to the singer and adjusts tempi and
dynamics to match
Judging by the success of Frescobaldi, most of this would seem to be
feasible. And I have five years or so to figure all this out ...
Has anyone on this list ever used Audiveris or OpenOMR?
How about creating non-paged graphical output from LilyPond?
Thanks for reading!

Hello Fred,
I have a friend with macular degeneration, to the degree he literally
holds his music touching his nose. I've created a template for use with
LilyPond and Frescobaldi, which gives 2-3 bars per landscape letter
sized page. I've adjusted things like slur line thickness, made fonts
bold and so forth. You might open the file in Frescobaldi and "Save As a
template". Hope it's useful!
Cheers,
Colin
