Not to ignore all the good postings on the sequencer thread, but I
only have time for a quick response before getting back to work. :-)

Have you ever thought about using C as your "extension/command
language"? Sure, it's not interpreted, but we're Linux users,
right, so everybody has the compiler. Create a set of easy-to-use
APIs for modifying MIDI (or other) events and use them to write
separate tiny programs for each song. That way you get the best of
both worlds... customizability in a language which most people
already know (sorry Paul), and latency under your own control.
This isn't very far removed from the concept of writing plugins to
run under MuCoS or such, but the difference is that the API should
be such that these would be as easy to code as small scripts in an
interpreted language.
Thoughts?
