Hi Karen, I don't have very much experience with command line tools for music in GNU/Linux, barring some pretty simple uses (encoding, monitoring MIDI notes, making minor edits to sheet music typeset in Lilypond generated by Rosegarden). But I have taken a head-first dive into audio production in GNU/Linux over the past few years, and I use it for live performance and for composition and home recording. I'd also be personally interested in at least some command line tools for doing some of the things I currently do in GUIs.
I don't think I fully understand what you're trying to do (both musically, or with the SSH component), but hopefully I can be of some assistance. Very curious to learn more about what you're hoping to do in case I can help! Regards, Blaise ps thanks for pinging me, Bob!
