I wonder if you could get some ideas from the python scripts that convert lilypond files into scrolling videos...

Now that I'm *cough, cough* an expert LilyPond user, I want to explore something really difficult.

My wife, a voice teacher, suffers from macular degeneration. Before her vision degrades so much that she can no longer read printed scores, I'd like to cobble together a system that

• scans piano-vocal sheet music
• creates a LilyPond file
• controls a digital piano with LilyPond's midi output
• displays the score in sync on a tablet at arbitrary magnification
• controls tempi and dynamics by gestures and taps (and/or voice commands)
  
• (bonus round) 'listens' to the singer and adjusts tempi and dynamics to match
  

Judging by the success of Frescobaldi, most of this would seem to be feasible. And I have five years or so to figure all this out ...

Has anyone on this list ever used Audiveris or OpenOMR?

How about creating non-paged graphical output from LilyPond?

Thanks for reading!

Fred
