Combined with getting busy elsewhere in my life, I haven’t done much on it this year, mainly because the next step is quite big. The next step is to integrate it into Frescobaldi, which will make it cross-platform. As far as I can see, the steps are: • Create a LilyQuick tab in Frescobaldi, with drop-down menus for various options (key, time, language, a few other options) • Incorporate the Lupa Python library <https://pypi.org/project/lupa/> into Frescobaldi (could possibly be tricky to make installer-proof, I could do Linux and Windows) • In Frescobaldi, bind numeric keystrokes to call a Lupa function eg LQKeystroke("5"). Once it is Lua, it will be easy to deal with • In Frescobaldi, bind the drop-down menus etc to something like LQChangeSetting("key", -3) • In Frescobaldi, create a MIDI listener that sends incoming MIDI messages to LilyQuick either as a byte array or a series of numbers • When LilyQuick wants to insert something (eg "bes2"), it calls the appropriate function in Frescobaldi. Alternatively, the LQKeystroke function returns the string to be inserted (and whether anything needs to be deleted) For me, adjusting the Lua internals of LilyQuick will be straightforward. Learning Python and the Frescobaldi internals will be challenging… Vaughan
