I have discussed it with Manual Op de Coul, and he think it is a
good idea, but the problem is finding someone that can do the hook
within LilyPond.
The format is here
http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/seq_format.html
One problem in LilyPond is that the part of the code currently
handling the MIDI output, is much less flexible than the code
handling ordinary printed output. On the other hand, this code is in
general much less involved than the code for the printed output, so
in the end it's perhaps not more difficult of time-consuming than to
add another output format for the printed output, at least if you
don't have the ambition to add the same flexibility for the sound
output backend as for the printed output backend.
The idea is to make an interface so that those interested in
programming the printing program need not engage with those interested
in generating sound output programs, and vice versa. There are also
programs like
http://people.bath.ac.uk/masjpf/CDP/csinfopg.htm
http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/
one might use for generating sound output.
So the format might be more general than Scala seq files. A user might
want to add interpretations directly into the score or tweak the
sequence file that LilyPond writes.
