I'll check it out.  It probably fits into a whole software
ecosystem that you're putting together ...

It's a crowded area, e.g. my midi stuff is at:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/index.html
and I'd probably do the above example by:
  ~> muscript -midi <<EOT >demo.mid
  | 3/4 2.0
  =1 treble 4 D 8 [F# A] 4 Bb
  EOT
see:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/muscript/index.html
but also relevant would be my MIDI.py, see:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/MIDI.html
which is also available in call-compatible Lua version:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/MIDI.html
and is closely related to the Perl CPAN module.
  
You could consider posting Pyknon to comp.music.midi ;
it's very low traffic, but some real gurus lurk there.

All the best with your music,
Peter
