Show HN: Code music in Python that generates MIDI
Interesting approach. There has been much activity in recent years in live coding with a lot of interesting solutions.
> most music coding software out there is more focused on experimentation rather than conventional songwriting
Did you have a look at e.g. https://github.com/alda-lang/alda or https://abcnotation.com/? Or e.g. https://github.com/emicklei/melrose is a similar approach as yours. There is also an algorithcmic composition language called SAL which is used in Common Music (https://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/) and Niquist (https://sourceforge.net/projects/nyquist/).

If musicians named programming languages, what would we be working in?

Sonic Pi – The Live Coding Music Synth for Everyone
Look into Alda music programming language - it's possible to write classical music with it. It's more like MIDI or classical notation - you don't care about sound but you specify notes.

Questions on Alda
Hi! The way it works is that you save alda files to a text file, then you play them using the alda player using the command line. I haven't looked into Alda 2 yet, but you can take a look at the documentation here

Alda – Text-Based Programming Language for Music Composition
Looks like a previous version was mostly a Clojure DSL, but the latest major version no longer is. There are variables and other useful features we know from other programming languages that aren't mentioned on the landing page.
Of course there are also varying definitions of what a programming language is. For instance, I consider CSS to be a programming language, but I know many people disagree with that position (and that's okay). I personally don't think that a "programming language" must be a general-purpose, turing-complete language. Alda seems to be a non-general purpose, turing-incomplete language. At this point though, we're maybe getting into semantics a bit.

Alda – Text-Based Programming Language for Music Composition
Have you checked out the unofficial Homebrew tap `nwhetsell/lilypond` [1]?
It has a `lilypond` formula that has worked fine for me. Beware though that it installs some kind of TeX repository sized 7 GB.
