Ok, this is a very naive exploration of what needs to be done in the hands of someone who, sure, knows how to code in elisp but hasn’t since long before the whole Doom Emacs renaissance and use-package and countless other things, plus, being lazy, I won’t read the code unless it’s the last option.

Explorations in music engraving via org-mode
If I can express the speed of light, what about sound? My next quest in this adventure is leveraging org-babel to generate snippets of music notation. Like, how difficult can that be?
On my way in, I know very little. I might know a great deal about music notations, sure, but all I know of Lilypond is two decades1 old and even then I was more into Musescore. What I do know of Lilypond is it is emaculately academic about notation, and that sounds like a nice thing to have.
From what I (dimly) recall, it retains a latex-like feel to the notation. It can’t be any worse than CSound, which is a topic in itself. For starters, though, is it possible to not only render some snip of score, but to have the process render and ready a MIDI? That’s the proof of concept du jour.
