What do you think about talking out the score in lilypond style..so you wouldnt have to switch eyes between screen and sheet..for example..:
c 8 f 16 c 4 . ( d 8 d d | and than a script to fix it: c8 f16 c4. ( d8 d d | but i think that voice recognition is not well suported on linux..i think you would only need to read it one time out loud..
