You can create a midi output, with all the drawbacks and benefits. As far as I know there is no lilypond "player", but to be totally honest I'm not sure it would make so much sense as lilypond is primarily a music typesetting language.
Do you also mean it doesn't make much sense to use PureData for anything else than audio ?
No, nor I see the logic by which you assume I mean that from the above statement.
Think of sentences like « It doesn't make much sense to use X as a Y because X is primarily a Z »...
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.
That is, you are applying the logic assumption:
*If* Lorenzo says: "It doesn't make much sense to use Lilypond as a midi creator as it is primarily a typesetting system"
*then* he also *always* thinks:
"It doesn't make much sense to use X as Y because X is primarily Z"
and *thus* Lorenzo thinks:
"It doesn't make much sense to use Pd as a [something-else-differnt-than-audio-creator] as it is primerily an [Audio-creation-something]
The part were you implicitly go from (cery) specific to general and back to specific again is the weakest - in my humble opinion ;)
Lorenzo.
