Anyone else disappointed this is not about music meant to be played while compiling code ?

As an untrained but interested bystander/hobbyist, the scores engraved by Lilypond are orders of magnitude better than those produced by the mainstream WYSIWYG editors, in the same "I deeply care about typography" sort of way that you get from documents produced with TeX but not Word or Google Docs. My ex-wife is a musician and a music teacher, and (especially for her teaching job) ends up writing a fair bit of sheet…
What she has found much more approachable is MuseScore (https://musescore.org/). I haven't done a careful comparison of the output to see which scores better [sorry!], but it's certainly adequate for her everyday needs, and with a cheap midi keyboard as input device, it was remarkably easy to get started.

I was more disappointed they didn't seem to have a "Make MIDI" option; or if they did I missed it.
