Looks great!  A few notes — almost all negative, so I should say that
aside from these, it seems a really excellent start.

1) In the download, the Python script isn’t executable.  See if you
can make it so within the zip file.

[I have some package dependency issues, so the rest of this is based
on the videos.]

2) Can you smooth out the speed transitions?  When the music isn’t
laid out in linear time — i.e., when it is laid out normally — the
scroll has to speed up and slow down.  Right now, it’s a little jerky
and honestly a little nauseating to me.  In physics terms, the third
derivative of position (the “jerk”, where first is velocity and second
is acceleration) seems to have some singularities, which is unnatural
and upsetting to naturally-evolved brains.

3) Can you get rid of the page breaks?  This may be a ’pond
limitation, but an effectively infinitely wide page would be cool.
With that, I would turn off the title and other info that is centered
on the “page”; it seems silly to have that scroll by a minute into the
piece.

4) Do articulate or similar tricks work?  IOW, can this handle
synthesizing separate \layout and \midi blocks into a single video?
