Dear LilyPond developers,
a month ago, on a tangent to the Issue #687 discussion
<http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=687>, I got tempted
to have a look at the LilyPond MIDI backend, only to be scared away by
the utter lack of documentation.
However, I have looked again a few times since then. Now I would like to
file a wish to improve that situation, and offer some help.
At least, I would like to see the following enhancements:
1. Improve performer documentation in the Internals Reference to
engraver standards:
a) document performer/context relations as specified
in ly/performer-init.ly
b) document which music types are accepted by performers
c) document Audio Items (analogously to grobs) produced by performers
2. Provide at least a short MIDI backend overview in the Contributor's
Guide.
Here is a patch that implements 1 a) and b).
<https://codereview.appspot.com/6868047>
Should you accept it, I am ready to tackle 1 c).
Best regards,
Johannes Rohrer
