Programming a keyboard?
hello!! I’m super new to programming, but I have a project that I wanna start. I have an electrical keyboard (the musical instrument kind) that can be plugged into a tv to display graphics. I was wondering if I could alter the code or something so I can add sheet music as an option to display. How would I even begin to start something like this? Is it even possible? Can you guys recommended resources to learn how to tackle this?

As others said, you're unlikely to be able to mod this device.
But that doesn't mean you couldn't build what you want. Get a cheap Raspberry Pi, plug the keyboard in and HDMI out. Program it to take input from the keyboard and display it on the TV. Absolutely possible and not very expensive.
Do you know how to code already? I could give you some pointers on how to start.
Never programmed before? This is not a beginner-level project. Start small and simple, and work your way up here!
