If it is a matter of having a system to do the build then I think that
would be too much effort. You are the only one improving the midi which
is far more important. There seems to be a need out there for getting
music into Denemo via midi; I don't have much idea how much information
is present in (some? all?) midi files to make this useful. There is the
possibility of ly2midi followed by our lily load routine, but I don't
know how good ly2midi is.
If we were to work towards the 0.7.10 release to be in, say, two months
what would you hope to contribute towards it? 
In this sort of timescale, I would hope to have the basics of the
customizable command sets ready. (For example, you would be able to
merge in the Guitar command set which would add a new menu which would
contain menu items for attaching each possible guitar fingering to a
note, shortcutted to the 1 - 5 keys).
Same question for Jean-Rene` really, would you be looking to doing
something useful for Undo/Redo, or getting internationalisation working
in that timescale, or something else altogether?
