5. I have not been able to get my MIDI keyboard to be read by any GNU/Linux program (it works in windows). This would be nice, but if Lilypond will do everything I need then I won't be too disappointed. Perhaps there is a way to pipe the MIDI signal strait through to Timidity, anyone? The piano sound font I mentioned before sounds so incredible that I'd like to just use that when I'm playing around on my keyboard (instead of its built in sounds).
You may want to check out noteedit with TSE: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~ja/noteedit/noteedit.html Thanks go to Luis Gasparotto for this link.
6. And finally a question for everyone. I've not played with lilypond much, but does anyone know how to tell it to use different MIDI sounds? Everything I compile uses the default piano sound - how do I tell it to use a different instrument number? I know it can do it, because one of the examples plays organ sounds.
I have the same problem with several programs.
Hopefully you can find something useful or encouraging in this. And maybe with a little gentle pressure we can get the SuSE people to give this music in Linux thing a little higher priority.
A distro that had all this stuff working easily out of the box would be awesome. Sound beyond MP3, wav, and CD players still has a ways to go on Linux.
