I guess Herbert may want to synchronize highlighting notes with MIDI
playback - that would be very cool and useful for learning the music.
Having Lily automatically produce interactive pdf files with MIDI
playback and note highlightning would be absolutely awesome.
Herbert, i suggest you to install Frescobaldi - it has a feature
called double-way-point-and-click: when you select some code in the
input, respective notes in the output are highlighted.  Maybe that'll
give you inspiration.

hope that helps,
