[OT] solfege to notes software?

[Federico Bruni]

Hi all

this is a bit off-topic, as it's not closely related to LilyPond.

I'm trying to imagine any possible way to avoid the boring part of typesetting, i.e. entering notes and durations.

Do you know any application which can create music (in lilypond format) from a real person who solfeges a piece? It could  be interesting for people not comfortable with piano keyboard and not willing to spend money for a MIDI keyboard.

Do you think that it could work?

Obviously, pitches would not be recognizable but the program should be able to:

- recognize the note names, possibly following the key signature specified at the beginning

- set the right durations, by setting a tempo click to follow during the solfege

I guess that dotted durations would be hard to catch by a software:

c4. d8 -> Do - o_Re
