Yes, but then, the reasoning that you stated is not what you actually
meant. You're not trying to say that it doesn't make sense to use
something that is primarily a typesetting system, to do midi output. It
may be because Lilypond in particular is bad at this task in particular,
but you already are generalising by calling it « a midi creator » and
« a typesetting system » and that a fact about the latter in general
justifies a statement about the former in general.

I'm not saying that I really expressed myself well in yesterday's
reply... It was a bad way to put it.

No problem, I can see what you meant. I was just trying to point out that the nuances of language in my opinion *are* important. email as a medium doesn't help because it is purely written text :)
Lorenzo.
