Frederico,

I am very interested in this question, too.

In theory, you could do the following:

Get a DAW like Logic that does audio => midi conversion
    1. Record your singing to an audio track in your DAW

    2. Convert the audio to midi.  There are settings or features to figure out the tempo, and quantize rhythmic values (specifying the smallest rhythmical unit, so you don't end up with random 32nd and 64th note values for things you sang with rhythmic embellishment.)

    3. Export a midi file

    4. Then, you can theoretically convert that midi file in to lilypond using midi2ly

That would require to sing the notes at the right pitch. Not easy. I'd rather use my instrument in that case.

But I guess that the audio>midi conversion would never be precise enough.

I was hoping someone could comment on the status of midi2ly, since I am still unable to use it on mac OSX 10.8.5 / Lilypond 2.18.2 with a "wrong architecture" error:

$ midi2ly -v
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/midi2ly", line 54, in <module>
    import midi
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lilypond/current/python/midi.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lib/lilypond/current/python/midi.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

I guess that you are talking about this issue:

It seems that there are some workarounds.
