Hi
LilyPond
Lovers
Not sure if is best place for this question...

I recently discovered a program named MMA that is a text- based way to
describe a backing track using various keywords and predefined music
patterns. It then produces a midi file.
I don't think midi2ly can create chord symbals based on the produced midi
file (e.g. bass, drums, guitar, piano). Especially if arpeggios and walking
bass.
I am working on awk script to parse the .mma file and produce a lilypond
chord chart.
Do you know best place to post something like that?
Or if similar efforts already exist?
Thanks, Dave
