Getting Started with LiveCode - Complete Beginners • Using LC to generate music

$

Hi everyone,

almost a year later, and have now found a solution to the issue of LC generating music.... Lilypond! https://lilypond.org/

the midi file that Lilypond produces (via a LC script) sounds quite reasonable, and (I think) can be customised in code to most instruments.

Lilypond generates a pdf of the sheetmusic & and also a midi file

I can open the pdf with a LC script

CODE:

put "File:C:\Users\Glenn\OneDrive\Documents\LiveCode\" & tName & "test.pdf" into tTestlaunch url tTest
but I can`t open the midi file using:

CODE:

put "File:C:\Users\Glenn\OneDrive\Documents\LiveCode\" & tName & "test.mid" into tTestlaunch url tTest
Just wondering if this is a LC issue, or a operating system issue...??

Thanks,

Glenn
