That's super motivating, thanks for taking the time to comment!

It would be really neat if I can export to a MIDI. Do you reckon that's easy to do for you? Lilypond in the back is storing this data in abc format right?

Separately, a question, which you guys might know how to solve:

How can I convert a PDF music sheet to a MIDI? I.e., does there exist a music-sheet to digital-music converter? The pdf in question I want to convert is not a scanned copy, it's been digitally produced by some other program (I don't know which program)

Someone requested MIDI and other exports at https://github.com/hacklily/hacklily/issues/2 and I'll try to tackle soon. Hacklily already makes MIDI available (for playback), so it's a matter of actually exposing that.

There are solutions for converting sheet music images to MusicXML/Finale/etc., but I haven't had good results with any of them.
