Somewhere there’s Music
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.
