In other words, you do not need to embed this functionality into your editor, you simply need to have your editor communicate with this backend in order to have the basic MIDI input working! As I mentioned in my other post, the MIDI input functionality and features were heavily inspired by Frescobaldi and a bit by Denemo.

Lilypond with the Frescobaldi front end is one open source solution.

I’d argue Lilypond has the best of both worlds since it’s free and very powerful with minimal tweaking, but it uses text-based input that might not be for everyone. I recommend using Frescobaldi if you do want to give Lilypond a shot, but there’s certainly a learning curve.

If anyone wants to try to learn it in the future, I recommend checking out Frescobaldi, a text editor made specifically for Lilypond. It has a “score wizard” feature that will help you set up your score and instruments without having to enter everything manually, a live preview so you don’t have to manually compile your score every time, and a lot of other nice features.
