 algorithmic compositions and music books using Make, Org and
 LilyPond-mode.

+# Questions
+
+
+## Do you have any thoughts on generating scores in chant notation (neumes)?
+
+
+### I'm not familiar with chant notation, but I know there's information on the manual.
+
+
+## Do you use this to compose or to write up compositions&#x2026;?
+
+
+### No and yes. I use pencil and paper to compose the first draft. Then I move to Emacs to input the notes. Either way it's certainly possible to compose from Emacs directly, especially if you're doing this programatically, so I guess it depends on what you're trying to do.
+
+
+## Can one use MIDI/USB instruments (like keyboards) to input Lilypond? For example for note heighs?
+
+
+### [Don't know about emacs, but Frescobaldi supports MIDI input.]
+
+
+### There is a package called midi-kbd which creates keyboard events from MIDI input, so I believe the answer is yes, but I don't own a MIDI controller, so I haven't tried it.
+
+
+## Did you ever write hughe scores (BigBand/Orchestra) in Emacs?
+
+
+### Never, but that's certainly possible.
+
+
+## Is there decent OCR for handwritten music→Lilypond?
+
+
+### I'm not sure, but if the OCR works with MusicXML, then you can use the musicxml2ly command to convert the xml file to a LilyPond file.
+
+
+## What shell are you using with the fancy autocomplete?
+
+
+### Zsh with fzf.
+
+
+## Do you use any kind of Emacs to MIDI interface besides exporting MIDI from lilypond?
+
+
+### No.

+-   Emacs + Lilypond
+-   Similar to LaTeX — has its own file format and syntax, can also export to MIDI
+-   (info "(lilypond-learning) Top")
+-   The contrast between background and foreground is a little too weak.
+-   Uses LilyPond-mode, flycheck
