Thanks for sharing this, Graham.  Vivi seems like nice work and the
rhythm test was fun.  FWIW, your post seems to me not so off-topic.
I've been thinking for a while about broaching the subject of
LilyPond's midi output on this forum -- I feel  that this is one area
where Lily is rather behind the curve compared to her commercial
sisters. I wonder if some of your work could be applicable to helping
LilyPond generate sound that's as beautiful as the sheet music.

Cheers,
Mike
