It can be dangerous/misleading to extract the general rule from one single, very specific example like this, and then re-apply it to a totally different domain/example.
Yes, but then, the reasoning that you stated is not what you actually meant. You're not trying to say that it doesn't make sense to use something that is primarily a typesetting system, to do midi output. It may be because Lilypond in particular is bad at this task in particular, but you already are generalising by calling it « a midi creator » and « a typesetting system » and that a fact about the latter in general justifies a statement about the former in general.
I'm not saying that I really expressed myself well in yesterday's reply... It was a bad way to put it.
No problem, I can see what you meant. I was just trying to point out that the nuances of language in my opinion *are* important. email as a medium doesn't help because it is purely written text :) Lorenzo.
